About this listen
Sam Harris discusses his latest book, The Moral Landscape.
About The Moral Landscape:
Sam Harris tears down the wall between scientific facts and human values, arguing that most people are simply mistaken about the relationship between morality and the rest of human knowledge. Harris urges us to think about morality in terms of human and animal well-being, viewing the experiences of conscious creatures as peaks and valleys on a "moral landscape". Because there are definite facts to be known about where we fall on this landscape, Harris foresees a time when science will no longer limit itself to merely describing what people do in the name of "morality"; in principle, science should be able to tell us what we ought to do to live the best lives possible.

Thought-provoking!
I think the moral landscape is a book that everybody needs to read it! It's about rejecting superstitions, it's about coming together to decide about our moral decisions instead of resorting to ancient textbooks.

poor audio and poor argumentation
This is just an intro to his book, so one shouldn't expect too much. Since he is claiming to be scientific, Harris should be more careful not to make so many unsubstantiated and sometimes false claims to fact regarding religions. His overall goal, however, of trying to show the rationality of moral objectivity is admirable.
