" As Haidt and his collaborators worked within the social intuitionist
approach, they began to devote attention to the sources of the intuitions
that they believed underlay moral judgments. In a 2004 article published in
the journal *Daedalus
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus_%28journal%29>*,[1]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory#cite_note-Haidt2004-1>
Haidt
and Joseph surveyed works on the roots of morality, including the work of Frans
de Waal <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frans_de_Waal>, Donald Brown
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Brown_%28anthropologist%29> and
Shweder, as well as Alan Fiske <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Fiske>
's relational models theory
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_models_theory>[18]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory#cite_note-Fiske1992-18>
 and Shalom Schwartz <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalom_Schwartz>'s theory
of basic human values
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_basic_human_values>.[19]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory#cite_note-Schwartz1992-19>
From
their review of these earlier lines of research, they suggested that all
individuals possess four "intuitive ethics", stemming from the process of human
evolution <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution> as responses to
adaptive challenges.[1]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory#cite_note-Haidt2004-1>
They
labelled these four ethics as suffering, hierarchy, reciprocity, and purity.

Invoking the notion of preparedness
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preparedness_%28learning%29>, Haidt and
Joseph claimed that each of the ethics formed a cognitive module
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_module>, whose development was
shaped by culture.[1]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory#cite_note-Haidt2004-1>
[20]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory#cite_note-Haidt&Joesph2007-20>
They
wrote that each module could "provide little more than flashes of affect
when certain patterns are encountered in the social world", while a
cultural learning process shaped each individual's response to these
flashes. Morality diverges because different cultures utilize the four
"building blocks" provided by the modules differently.[1]
