Prof. Jonathan Haidt is featured for his work on moral thinking

Excerpt from The Atlantic -- "How much of moral thinking is innate? Haidt sees morality as a 'social construction' that varies by time and place. We all live in a 'web of shared meanings and values' that become our moral matrix, he writes, and these matrices form what Haidt, quoting the science-fiction writer William Gibson, likens to 'a consensual hallucination.'"
