Food for Thought: The Righteous Mind

What:

In our pluralistic society, we must learn to live with disagreement.  So why do our disagreements still so frequently devolve into vilification and conflict? And in the month leading up to the midterm elections, it would be surprising if these conflicts did not increase. Is it really possible, now or ever, to disagree constructively about matters of fundamental importance? 
 

Thus, Food for Thought returns to ask another whyWhy are good people divided by politics and religion? This is the question that social psychologist Jonathan Haidt seeks to answer in his recent book, The Righteous Mind
