Jonathan Haidt, Steven Pinker, and the Utilitarian Road to Nowhere

Jonathan Haidt, Steven Pinker, and the Utilitarian Road to Nowhere

“American social psychologist Jonathan Haidt in his book The Righteous Mind has determined six fundamental human values: fairness, liberty, hierarchy, care, loyalty, and sanctity. But utilitarian thinkers have reduced people’s values to just care and equality.”

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
