These topics often crowd out quieter voices, by us blowhards, when really we could all do with a bit more listening and less talking. <br /><br />I will follow up on the links you have shared and comment in the future. <br /><br />I hope you come back regularly and become a part of these discussions.<br /><br />Curious to see what Corrie says...Jabizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060918134697370964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21001963.post-89005047643977878962009-09-13T11:52:40.809+07:002009-09-13T11:52:40.809+07:00This TED talk by Jonathan Haidt on the moral found...This TED talk by Jonathan Haidt on the moral foundation theory is fascinating.<br /><br />http://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_mind.html<br /><br />Corrie argues that freedom is a key value to conservatives, but I say again that I don't really know what that means. To me, conservative social values are very restrictive and not free at all. (Unless you're more of a libertarian than a conservative, Corrie.) Haidt doesn't address where libertarians fall on the moral scales--any thoughts?Cathy Creahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407102230512845746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21001963.post-58344510905256515552009-09-13T11:16:27.455+07:002009-09-13T11:16:27.455+07:00Maybe against my better judgment, I feel compelled...Maybe against my better judgment, I feel compelled to join in. There is way more than I have time to digest or comment on.<br /><br />I'll just ask this, then:<br /><br />Have you read Jonathan Haidt's take on moral foundations theory regarding the differences in liberal and conservative moral codes? <br /><br />http://faculty.virginia.edu/haidtlab/mft/index.php<br /><br />Haidt is also a liberal, but I think he has presented his theory in a more neutral way. Asserting moral superiority will never bring us together. What I like about this theory is the ability to see our belief systems as inherently different while allowing us to take some of the judgmental attitudes out of the discussion.<br /><br />Obviously, I think my moral code is correct, but I recognize that other moral codes have value and that it is possible that I am, in fact, wrong.<br /><br />Corrie, I'm particularly curious what you think of Haidt's theory.<br /><br />I had a handful of other points, but I realized that my arguments were too diffuse on too many different topics, so I'll stop here.Cathy Creahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407102230512845746noreply@blogger.com
