Sam Harris’s first book, The End of Trust, ignited an internationally debate about the validity of religious beliefs. In the aftermath, Harris found that most people-from spiritual fundamentalists to non-believing scientists-agree on one point: science offers nil to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, our failure to address questions of signifying and morality through science has now end up being the principal justification for spiritual faith.

With this highly controversial book, Sam Harris looks for to link about The Moral Surroundings: How Science Can Determine Human Values morality to the others of individual knowledge. Defining morality in terms of human being and pet well-being, Harris argues that science can do a lot more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, reveal how we should be. In his view, moral relativism is merely false-and comes at an increasing cost to humanity. As well as the intrusions of religious beliefs in to the sphere of human values could be finally repelled: for as there is absolutely no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim algebra, there may be no Christian or Muslim morality. Using his experience in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his knowledge on the front lines of our “culture wars,” Harris delivers a game-changing book about the continuing future of technology and about the real basis of human being cooperation.
