Moral Tribes
Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them
Joshua Greene
The book explores the psychological underpinnings of morality, emphasizing the conflict between our innate moral instincts that serve tribalistic ends and the need for a more universal ethics to navigate the modern, pluralistic world. It advocates for using a combination of emotional intuition and rational deliberation to resolve moral dilemmas, proposing a "metamorality" based on the principle of maximizing overall well-being.
