Why Conservatives Can't Understand Liberals (and Vice Versa) - Foundation for Economic Education
"It’s probably important to preface any conversation on morality by noting that humans often struggle—mightily—to agree on what morality is. 
...Morality and the "Other Side"

What Haidt found is that both conservatives and liberals recognize the Harm/Care and Fairness/Reciprocity values. 

Liberal-minded people, however, tend to reject the three remaining foundational values—Loyalty/betrayal, Authority/subversion, and Sanctity/degradation—while conservatives accept them. 
It’s an extraordinary difference, and it helps explain why many liberals and conservatives in America think “the other side” is bonkers.

...I’ll be interested to hear what readers think of Haidt’s thesis. But remember, this is a bit of a catch-22: if one reflexively smashes Haidt’s theory, it may only be evidence that this person is living in a moral matrix himself.
