In his book Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them, Jonathan Haidt argues that our moral intuitions are shaped by our emotions, and that we need to understand these emotions in Free Download to bridge the political divide.

Haidt's book is divided into three parts. In the first part, he presents his theory of moral intuitions. He argues that we have two main types of moral intuitions: those that are based on care and fairness, and those that are based on loyalty and authority. These intuitions are shaped by our experiences and by our culture.

In the second part of the book, Haidt discusses the gap between us and them. He argues that we tend to see our own group as moral and righteous, and to see other groups as immoral and evil. This gap can lead to conflict and violence.
