The Moral Landscape

In this book, Sam Harris challenges the traditional separation between scientific facts and human values.

He argues that morality can be understood in terms of human and animal well-being, and that science can provide objective answers to moral questions.

Harris contends that moral relativism is false and that science can tell us how we ought to live to achieve the greatest well-being.

He uses his expertise in philosophy and neuroscience to make a case for a science of morality, emphasizing that moral values should be grounded in empirical facts about what causes people to flourish.
