Johathan Haidt is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom. He lives in New York City.
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.

還記得駭客帝國裏麵尼奧的選擇嗎?紅色藥片和藍色藥片,一個是真實的世界,一個是熟悉的世界。他選擇瞭紅色藥片。 這本書的作者喬納森說,“施韋德的著作的確是我的紅色藥片。”我想說的是,這本涵蓋施韋德關於道德理論的書是我的紅色藥片。 幫助我看看清瞭一個真實的“道德”...
評分讀到這本書完全是巧閤。那天閑來無事,於是去瞭Barnes & Noble。那幾天剛讀完圍城,被故事中的失望與絕望弄的精神萎靡。於是很想找一本毫無感情糾葛的嚴肅讀物。當時走到新書書架,一下子就被這本書的副標題吸引住瞭:Why good people are divided by politics and religio...
評分 評分一 我竟然讀過Haidt的另外一本書,叫the Happiness Hypothesis(《象與騎象人》)。那是幾年前讀的瞭,我現在已經不記得裏麵說瞭什麼。Haidt說,當初他寫這本the Happiness Hypothesis,還認同古代哲人的智慧,如Buddha和斯多葛派,認為你無法改變外在的世界,你隻能改變你自己...

三個核心理念:好惡,先有直覺,再有論證;人性,既有自私,也有「群私」;道德,一邊約束,一邊障目。用進化生物學的理論提齣道德和宗教來由的假說,這部分我隻能「嗬嗬」,但對於人性(無法完全理性)的論述,以及道德的六個根基/維度,這些思考卻是蠻開腦洞的。作者作為無神論、崇尚自由的左派人士,真誠良善地願意站到光譜另一極思考,的確是為數不多的開明之士,放在當今撕裂的社會,相當抵讚。四星。
評分Do you need to be so long-winded in order to "talk to the elephant"? Liberal - harm/care, fairness, liberation/oppression. Republicans plus authority, sanctity, loyalty
評分先看John Jost的書評再看書,看的時候也時時懷疑自己不夠客觀, 感覺自己一直看到論證不太嚴謹的地方。作者和書評人都恰好在NYU,對兩人的直觀印象成為瞭閱讀的背景。認真寫完書評和筆記後再來重讀一遍Jost的書評吧,也許可以再寫一篇迴應書評的評論。

評分那麼要想成為一名野生liberal其實還蠻難的!
