Why can’t our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems mount? Why do people so readily assume the worst about the motives of their fellow citizens? In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding.

His starting point is moral intuition—the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right. He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain, and he explains why conservatives can navigate that map more skillfully than can liberals. He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. But rather than arguing that we are innately altruistic, he makes a more subtle claim—that we are fundamentally groupish. It is our groupishness, he explains, that leads to our greatest joys, our religious divisions, and our political affiliations. In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation.

读后感

（一） 本书属于心理学的书，也被归于哲学类书。这种分类方式是很有意思。心理学的结论应该是事实判断。而正义不是事实判断，是道德判断。 本书的结论是骑象人之喻：是非之心来源于感情，而理性是为感情寻找理由。即人类在判断是非是，由感性给出结论，再由理性为什么是这个结...  

正义与情感 有一家人养了一条狗，有一天狗出车祸被撞死了。他们家人听说狗肉很好吃，就把狗做了吃了。 一个男人从超市买了只活鸡回家，跟鸡发生了性关系，然后把鸡做了吃了。整个过程没有任何其他人看到，没有伤害任何人。 一个女人家里有面很旧的国旗，她不想要了可是也不...

《正义之心》是一本极具说服力的书。它的极具说服力并非是因为作者在书中建构了一套极其精密无可挑剔的理论体系，而是因为作者深谙直觉主义式的劝服之道，即如果想要改变一个人对某事某物的看法，必须对着他的直觉说话。因此，作者并未开门见山，一开始就论述其核心发现，而是...  

去年曾在某个场合与海特教授聊过几句，简单说，他谦和、绅士、睿智、开放，满足个人对于大神的一切想象。 与国内多数心理学者专注象牙塔不同，海特在更广泛的社会主题及领域上所做的努力和取得的影响力令人印象深刻。他的多次TED talks，在2011年SPSP上的演讲，及这几本专著，...  

用户评价

看起来挺时髦的。看了一些吐槽，不打算很仔细地看。（又一个对道金斯的错误引用wwww)【真的，这里面举得例子怎么总觉得作者看的材料和我看的材料不是一个材料。这导致很多论点都很没说服力。完了最后一点宗教那边的论述就更乱来了，切掉最后一点还能拯救一下

先看John Jost的书评再看书，看的时候也时时怀疑自己不够客观， 感觉自己一直看到论证不太严谨的地方。作者和书评人都恰好在NYU，对两人的直观印象成为了阅读的背景。认真写完书评和笔记后再来重读一遍Jost的书评吧，也许可以再写一篇回应书评的评论。

eye-opening and provocative

脑洞大开！

总感觉像民科YY。。人的理性总是受第一反应影响，很难起到矫正作用。第一反应受进化影响，生成六个基本维度，右派和左派在这六个基本维度上有不同。进化分为个体选择和群体选择，宗教是群体选择的产物。
