The Righteous Mind
Description
About the Book:
Morality, religion, and politics all grow out of the tension between two conflicting imperatives: outcompete your peers, and unite with your peers to outcompete other groups. An obsession with righteousness, leading inevitably to self-righteousness, is the normal human condition. Our righteous minds made it possible for human beings--unlike other animals--to produce large cooperative groups, tribes, and nations that are not based on kinship. But at the same time, our righteous minds guarantee that our cooperative groups will always be cursed by moralistic strife. The Righteous Mind investigates whether some degree of conflict among individuals and groups may be necessary for the maintenance of moral order.
