Haidt the righteous mind6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I had the pleasure of visiting him at his office, which is currently in Tisch Hall at NYU (Haidt is a visiting professor at Stern School of Business), to speak about his background and how he came to write his forthcoming book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. He strives to understand our inherent self-righteousness and morality as a collection of diverse mental modules to try to ultimately make society better off. It closes hearts and minds to opponents even as it makes cooperation and decency possible within groups." And while many of us understand this at a superficial level, Haidt takes it to heart. As Haidt writes on his website, "It binds people together into teams that seek victory, not truth. But what makes Haidt one-of-a-kind in academia is his sincere attempt to study and understand human morality from a point of view other than his own. If social psychology was a sport, Haidt would be a Phil Mickelson or Rodger Federer – likable, fun to watch and one of the best. ![]() Meet Jonathan Haidt, a professor of social psychology at the University of Virginia who studies morality and emotion. ![]()
