Summary:
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.
Key points:
1. Dual-Process Theory: Greene's theory suggests our moral judgments come from two systems: an instinctive, emotional "automatic mode" and a thoughtful, rational "manual mode".
