I have a feeling maybe my link is only good in the US, because when I click it I get to the book. I wonder what would happen if you went to Google Books directly and then searched for the title.bradams wrote:When I click on that link I don't get a preview Saffron. Any special trick to it?Hey, I just discovered that at least the first part of this book is available on Google Books! I've now been able to start reading while I wait for the copy I reserved from my library. So far I've finished the intro - I'm hooked

Re: The Righteous Mind, Introduction
I am posting on this thread because I couldn't figure out where the post would fit. I am in chapter 6 - I am a slow reader and have been distracted. I hope I have not missed all the discussion of this book. Reading has been like sitting in favorite professor's favorite class. I really like the way Haidt describes how he came to think about and understand morality as he presents his material.

Re: The Righteous Mind, Introduction
I was going to finish up with a post on the last chapter soon. But we could use a second wave of discussion, for sure. I like the way Haidt wrote the book, too. He frames some of it in terms of his personal discovery of other valid moral foundations and his newfound respect for conservatism. He also runs the gamut from some pretty arcane scientific stuff (but well presented for the non-specialist) to what's going on in politics today--a lot of range in the book. I agree he comes across as a really excellent teacher.
