[Craic] Saturday Craic 10:30 EDT Charles Taylor: "Fragile Democracy: Technocratic Takeover and Popular Renewal --zoomlinkj

Mon Mar 29 23:07:10 PST 2021

Hi Allen

I am familiar with Haidt's thinking on moral psychology.  I particularly 
like the perspective you previously shared regarding the lefts fixation 
on the purity of ideology.  I was also intrigued when reading this 
subject of the claim that Kant is the father of moral psychology.  
Interpreting Kant in this perspective we have the biology that enables 
us to know what is good and it is made up of six moral hot buttons.  
cheating,

Live well
