Moral Politics

What is Moral Politics. Here is a quote from the author of the book with the same title Moral Politics.
Moral Politics work in a discipline that studies how people conceptualize the world. It is called cognitive science, which is the interdisciplinary study of the mind. It is broad discipline, covering everything from vision, memory, and attention to everyday reasoning and language. The sub field most concerned with issues of worldview, that is, with everyday conceptualization, reasoning, and language, is cognitive linguistics. I have been a cognitive linguist virtually from the birth of the field, and it is my profession to study how we conceptualize our everyday lives and how we think and talk about them. The study of political concepts and political discourse falls under the job description of those in my field, though until now research in the area has been relatively sparse. -George Lakoff.
