Sam Harris's first book, "The End of Faith," ignited a worldwide
debate about the validity of religion. In the aftermath, Harris
discovered that most people--from religious fundamentalists to
non-believing scientists--agree on one point: science has nothing
to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, our failure to
address questions of meaning and morality through science has now
become the primary justification for religious faith.
In this highly controversial book, Sam Harris seeks to link
morality to the rest of human knowledge. Defining morality in terms
of human and animal well-being, Harris argues that science can do
more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, tell us how we
ought to be. In his view, moral relativism is simply false--and
comes at an increasing cost to humanity. And the intrusions of
religion into the sphere of human values can be finally repelled:
for just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim
algebra, there can be no Christian or Muslim morality. Using his
expertise in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his experience
on the front lines of our "culture wars," Harris delivers a
game-changing book about the future of science and about the real
basis of human cooperation.
