Democratic Humility - Reinhold Niebuhr, Neuroscience, and America's Political Crisis (Hardcover)

American politics is in a state of crisis but it is not clear why.
Nor do we know what to do about it. Reinhold Niebuhr helps us
understand what is wrong with our politics and research into the
workings of the brain confirms his analysis. Call it sin or
motivated reasoning and confirmation bias, the bottom line is that
all of us are what Niebuhr calls "Children of Light." We are all
vain and self-righteous about our beliefs and values, and far too
quick to reject any information that goes against them. The
unprecedented rise of talk radio and cable news helps to account
for why things are so bad. We all want to hear that our group is
smarter and more moral than others. To restore a democracy that
functions, we need to understand ourselves better and develop the
humility that such knowledge should engender.
