"The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values" by Sam Harris argues that science can and should play a role in determining moral values, challenging the traditional separation between science and morality. Harris suggests that moral questions can be objectively evaluated based on the well-being of conscious creatures, proposing a framework where moral decisions are grounded in empirical facts about human and animal flourishing.
The book explores topics such as moral truth, the distinction between good and evil, the role of religion in moral discussions, and the implications of neuroscience for free will and morality. Harris emphasizes that human well-being is influenced by states of the brain and events in the world, advocating for a scientific approach to moral reasoning.
