After reading The Theory of Justice , The Heart of Justice after reading

Jonathan Haight is a pioneer of positive psychology, and his other work "The Elephant and the Elephant Rider" has also received high praise, this book "The Heart of Justice" is a fusion of psychology and philosophy, not a dogmatic way to tell people what justice is, but to start from cultural differences, and then analyze the impact of emotions on morality, and put forward a dual theoretical system, when intuition cannot explain more moral judgments, science is needed to explain; He also introduced the study of human moral psychology into political psychology to explain the political psychology of American society.

This book involves a lot of specialized knowledge, such as neuroscience, psychology, religion, political science, and so on. For me, a novice, I really have to read it many times to understand the meaning of the text. The most significant revelation is:

Understand those who disagree with us and learn to live in harmony with them.

The book is divided into three parts to illustrate the author's point of view.

Part 1: Intuition first, strategic reasoning second. Elephant and elephant rider.

System 1 makes the decision, and System 2 helps justify that System 1 is right. Emotions play an important role in this. For example, when we respect someone, even if their point of view is different from yours, you will think about what makes sense in their point of view.

It quotes, for example, Glaucon (Plato's cousin) that people behave ethically only because they fear the consequences of their immorality--- especially the damage to their reputation. That is to say, in the society of acquaintances and small circles, everyone will be more creditable.

Part 2: Morality is more than just harm and fairness. Moral topics are divided into three categories:

Autonomous ethics, collective ethics, and divine ethics. There are many moral matrices coexisting in every country, and each matrix has a complete worldview, with emotional attachment, and is almost indestructible in the face of external conceptual attacks.

Part 3: Morality is cohesive, but blind. It is the co-progress of genes and culture, there is a honeycomb switch, and this switch will be turned on under certain conditions:

Abandoning self-interest and forgetting oneself in a larger group than oneself, such as reverence for nature, etc. How can we find such a switch in our organization to improve similarity, use synchronicity, promote competition between teams rather than individuals, and have a sense of belonging.

1.Morality has two forms, one corresponding to a sense of justice and justice, and the other to human love and self-control.

2.To love another person means not only caring about his demands and needs, but also affirming his own sense of personal worth.

3.One of the virtues of a well-organized society is that its members are seldom burdened by a coercive conscience, as arbitrary authority no longer exists.

4.The Kantian interpretation is that man should not be treated as a hand, and that the more unconditional the concern for our good, and the more explicit the refusal of others to take advantage of our accidents and events, the stronger our self-esteem becomes, and this greater good leads to closer interaction with others and with the system of virtue for virtue. These effects are stronger than those of the utilitarian principle, and therefore the attachment relationship that results from them should also be stronger.

5.Applying utilitarian principles destroys the self-esteem of losers, especially when they are already in misfortune.

Perception: The implementation of justice must have a stable social structure and distribution methods. However, this system is too fragile and will always be affected by the entanglement of ideology and interests. Once "justice" is in a position of domination, it is merely a window dressing tool.
