The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion

Why
do we vote the way we do?  Why are we
'conservative' or liberal'? Are there psychological or even genetic markers
that might flag our political tendencies? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt
thinks so. His richly drawn work, The
Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion,

offers an enlightening new perspective on America's polarization and paralysis.
Jim Kenney will review the book and what the author offers as keys to
understanding 'the miracle of human cooperation.' Registration is $30 member;
$36 non-member.
