Your Brains Politics: How the Science of Mind Explains the Political Divide Lakoff GeorgePaperback
At first glance, issues like economic inequality, healthcare, climate change, and abortion seem unrelated. What explains this divide? However, when thinking and talking about them, people reliably fall into two camps: conservative and liberal.
And what is the conceptual nature of those who decide elections, commonly called the "political middle"?The answers are profound. Why do conservatives and liberals hold the positions they do? They have to do with how our minds and brains work.
Political attitudes are the product of what cognitive scientists call Embodied Cognition -- the grounding of abstract thought in everyday world experience. Clashing beliefs about how to run nations largely arise from conflicting beliefs about family life: conservatives endorse a strict father and liberals a nurturant parent model. So-called "middle" voters are not in the middle at all.
