1. Moral Tribes
Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them
The book explores the concept of moral decision-making and the conflicts that arise between different groups, or "tribes," with varying moral values. It delves into the psychological underpinnings of morality, examining how evolutionary processes have shaped human moral intuitions. The author proposes a dual-process theory of moral judgment, distinguishing between automatic, intuitive responses and more deliberate, reasoned thinking. By advocating for a utilitarian approach to ethics, the book suggests that reasoned moral thinking can help bridge the gap between conflicting moral tribes, promoting cooperation and understanding in a diverse world.
