Righteous Heart: Why do people always insist "I am right and you are wrong"
Author: [US] Jonathan Haidt
Written by American psychologist Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind explores why people always insist on the idea of "I am right, you are wrong". The book deeply analyzes the psychological mechanism behind human moral judgment and reveals the root causes of the differences in moral concepts between different individuals, groups, parties, and even between the government and the people. Haidt believes that people's moral concepts are influenced by multiple factors such as culture, society, and psychology, resulting in different evaluations of the same event. This difference in turn triggers social conflicts and disagreements. This book aims to help readers understand and respect the moral positions of others, face social disputes with a more tolerant and rational attitude, and seek consensus and harmony.
