- Society & Culture
Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion, shares a riveting explanation for the deepening and seemingly intractable partisan division in America’s politics. Turns out it has a lot more to do with the basics of human psychology and our moral reasoning habits than we’d care to admit. And – strangely enough – “elephants” are involved.
In this episode (part 2 of The Righteous Mind program), Dr. Haidt takes questions from the audience and we hear reflections from engaged citizens who were present for Dr. Haidt's talk.
