About this listen

Sam Harris has discovered that most people, from secular scientists to religious fundamentalists, agree on one point: science has nothing to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, science’s failure to address questions of meaning and morality has become the primary justification for religious faith. The underlying claim is that while science is the best authority on the workings of the physical universe, religion is the best authority on meaning, values, morality, and leading a good life. Sam Harris shows us that this is not only untrue; it cannot possibly be true.

Bringing a fresh, secular perspective to age-old questions of right and wrong, and good and evil, Harris shows that we know enough about the human brain and how it reacts to events in the world to say that there are right and wrong answers to the most pressing questions of human life. Because such answers exist, moral relativism is simply false – and comes at increasing cost to humanity.

Using his expertise in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his experience on the front lines of the cultural war between science and religion, Harris delivers an explosive argument about the future of science, and about the real basis of human relationships.

An interesting concept is raised in this book but Sam Harris fails to give me much enthusiasm for it. He also speaks very quickly and uses a lot of jargon which can make it difficult to follow unless you have studied this topic before.

Interesting

Very timely and well thought out. Sam Harris eloquently puts the case for a scientific morality based on the avoidance of human suffering and the truth if human well being. astonished, as we all should be, that even scientists balk at this idea.

Strong case for reason over faith in morality

It is difficult to fault Sam's logic or indeed intentions here. The concept of the Moral Landscape deserves to be at the forefront of our discourse on morality.

Highly recommended

What would we do without Harris's clear and thoughtful thinking on subjects like Morality, religion and other important subject that of the day, this book covers morality and makes it should be left to science to discover what it means to live the good life
A highly recommended read

Read many Sam Harris books they never disappoint

Sam Harris never fails to impress, the moral landscape is a classic piece of literature that philosophers and SCIENTISTS will find answers within to their most pressing questions.

Insightful to say the least!
