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 nonbelieving 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.
Titel: The Moral Landscape
Udgave: 1st edition
Sammendrag: Bogen undersøger, om og hvordan videnskab kan give svar på moralske spørgsmål. Sam Harris definerer moral i forhold til menneskers og dyrs trivsel og argumenterer for, at der findes objektive sandheder om godt og ondt, som kan afdækkes videnskabeligt. Han kritiserer både religiøs dogmatik og moralsk relativisme og viser, hvordan religiøs tro ofte står i vejen for rationelle løsninger på etiske og politiske problemer. Med eksempler fra neurovidenskab, psykologi og global politik beskriver han et “moralsk landskab” af mulige tilstande af velvære, hvor nogle samfundsformer og handlinger er bedre end andre. Bogen kombinerer populærvidenskab og filosofisk argumentation og er rettet mod læsere, der interesserer sig for etik, religion, videnskab og moderne kulturkampe.
