The righteous mind: why good people are divided by politics and religion

Trama

Why can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe from you? Why do ideas such as 'fairness' and 'freedom' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so easy to see the flaws in others' arguments, and less in our own? Not only that, we are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous too.
