Description
Sam Harris's latest work explores the relationship between science and human values. He argues that morality can be linked to our understanding of human and animal well-being, suggesting that science has the potential to inform our moral principles. Harris challenges the idea of moral relativism, instead proposing that a universal moral framework is possible. By examining the intersection of philosophy and neuroscience, he aims to provide a new perspective on the future of science and its role in shaping human cooperation. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between science and morality, one that has significant implications for our understanding of human values and our place within the world.
