Jonathan Haidt

Jonathan Haidt is an American social psychologist and bestselling author known for his work on moral psychology, ideological difference, and the cultural foundations of political disagreement. Through books such as The Righteous Mind, The Coddling of the American Mind, and The Anxious Generation, he has become a major public voice on moral foundations theory, institutional trust, free inquiry, and the social effects of technology. In debate contexts, Haidt is valued for translating academic psychology into broad arguments about why people disagree and how modern institutions can become more fragile, polarized, or morally confused.
