I gave up on the book when I realised the author's moral framework was based on an old skool view of reason vs emotion. The other thing that psychologists get wrong about the languaged distinction they call “morality” IMO is an implicit assumption in a single universal objective world where the authority to define what is “true” and important is always external to the individual. Presumably this authority exists in their own conceptual frameworks.
