The Human Hive
How transcendence opens up a world of possibility:
Hoe transcendentie een wereld van mogelijkheden opent.
Jonathan Haidt: Religion, evolution, and the ecstasy of self-transcendence
Psychologist Jonathan Haidt asks a simple, but difficult question: why do we search for self-transcendence?
Why do we attempt to lose ourselves? In a tour through the science of evolution by group selection, he proposes
a provocative answer.
Jonathan Haidt studies how -- and why -- we evolved to be moral. By understanding more about our moral roots, his
hope is that we can learn to be civil and open-minded. His new book is "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People
are Divided by Politics and Religion."
