Abstract
Abstract:This article discusses the ethics of right-wing populism. Using the works of psychologist Jonathan Haidt, it argues that there is a fundamental difference in the ethical orientations of right-wing populists and their liberal opponents. This difference helps explain the populist distrust of deliberative dialogue. It also sheds light on the political polarization that has resulted from the recent culture wars.
