About this listen
Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist and professor at NYU best known for his contributions in the field of moral psychology. He has written three books, including the highly regarded The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion, which presents his Moral Foundations Theory and its supporting research. In their discussion of the book, Greg and Bird cover topics including moral intuition vs. moral reasoning, the necessity of conversation for changing one's mind, the book's 6 foundations of morality, the guys' results on the MFQ and Big 5 (and what the results say about their politics), identifying with groups, experiences of transcendence and loss of self, religion (what a surprise) and its influence on society at large, the value of holding certain beliefs as sacred, the author's conclusions on moral philosophy and pluralism, and more.
The assessments discussed in the episode (the Moral Foundations Questionnaire and the Big 5 Personality Scale) can be found and taken for free here: yourmorals.org
This conversation was recorded in August 2020.
