عن المؤلف

Jonathan Haidt is an American social psychologist and author known for his work on the psychology of morality and the social behavior of humans. He is a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business and has made significant contributions to the understanding of how moral beliefs shape political ideologies and societal interactions. His research often focuses on the intersection of psychology and culture, particularly in the context of social media and its impact on discourse and community building.

Haidt gained widespread recognition for his books, including "The Coddling of the American Mind," which he co-authored with Greg Lukianoff. This work critiques contemporary educational practices and explores how overly protective environments can impact the development of resilience in young people. He argues for the importance of open inquiry and diverse viewpoints in fostering a healthy society. With his insights on morality and culture, Haidt continues to influence discussions on political polarization and the role of social media in shaping public opinion.
