Book
Jonathan Haidt · 2012
Haidt's argument is that moral judgment is more like taste than like proof: we feel rightness and wrongness first and reason afterward, and the feelings run along several distinct foundations that people and cultures weight very differently. Much disagreement, on this view, is not error but different foundations bearing different loads.

What this book knows
Moral judgment is intuition first and reasoning after; competing moral foundations — care, fairness, loyalty, authority, sanctity — explain why decent people bind into rival political and religious tribes.

Editor’s framing
Vela cites The Righteous Mind for the dispositional map it offers — care, fairness, loyalty, authority, sanctity, liberty — set beside the situational mechanism of in-group/out-group dynamics. It is useful for reading the moral texture of the religious communities the corpus engages without flattening them into a single morality, especially where the loyalty and sanctity foundations run hot. Read it for the reframe that the people you find baffling are not failing at your morality; they are running a different one.
