The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion

Why do we vote the way we do?  Why are we 'conservative' or liberal'? Are there psychological or even genetic markers that might flag our political tendencies? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt thinks so. His richly drawn work, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, offers an enlightening new perspective on America's polarization and paralysis. Jim Kenney of Common Ground will review the book and what the author offers as keys to understanding 'the miracle of human cooperation.'
