Description
Moral Foundations Theory
Please join our informative and engaging Philosophy Group presentation and discussion!
We will discuss the Moral Foundations Theory that was devised by Jesse Graham and Jonathan Haidt at the University of Virginia. Please take the Moral Foundation's quiz to find your score and bring the results to share with the rest of the group.
Moral Foundations Theory was created to understand why morality varies so much across cultures yet still shows so many similarities and recurrent themes. In brief, the theory proposes that five innate and universally available psychological systems are the foundations of “intuitive ethics.” Each culture then constructs virtues, narratives, and institutions on top of these foundations, thereby creating the unique moralities we see around the world, and conflicting within nations too.
