Moral Tribes

Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them

Meer over het boek

Our brains were designed for tribal life, for getting along with a select group of others (Us) and for fighting off everyone else (Them). But modern times have forced the world's tribes into a shared space, resulting in epic clashes of values along with unprecedented opportunities. As the world shrinks, the moral lines that divide us become more salient and more puzzling. We fight over everything from tax codes to gay marriage to global warming, and we wonder where, if at all, we can find our common ground. In this grand synthesis of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, a path breaking neuroscientist reveals the underlying causes of modern conflict and lights the way forward.--From publisher description
