In this episode I continue the exploration of the evolutionary roots of morality with Jonathan Haidt's fantastic book, The Righteous Mind. In this book, Haidt delivers the killing blow to the rationalist delusion that I've been discussing since the early episodes. In addition, I examine the broad array of virtues encompassed by Haidt's moral foundations theory. This theory, and its political ramifications, continue to draw together evolutionary psychology, conservatism, and the golden mean proposed by Aristotle.

Nature and the Nation explores the intersection of national conservatism and philosophical naturalism. This podcast uses the format of a book review to explore philosophy, psychology, history, politics, and sociology, with a particular focus on existentialism, evolutionary psychology, Ancient Greece, the American Old Right, and the European New Right.

35. Review: Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
In this episode, we explore Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, in which he explains his research in the two modes of thought: System 1, the fast, intuitive, unconscious thought of associations and heuristics, and System 2, the slow, deliberate, calculative, resource-depleting conscious thought.
