Book: The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values, By Sam Harris

Here are some what reviewers say about Sam Harris's book:
"I was one of those who had unthinkingly bought into the hectoring myth that science can say nothing about morals. To my surprise, The Moral Landscape has changed all that for me. It should change it for philosophers too. Philosophers of mind have discovered that they can't duck the study of neuroscience, and the best of them have raised their game as a result. Sam Harris shows that the same should be true of moral philosophers, and it will turn their world exhileratingly upside down. As for religion, and the preposterous idea that we need God to be good, nobody wields a sharper bayonet than Sam Harris."
                                                                      --Richard Dawkins, Oxford University

"Reading Sam Harris is like drinking water from a cool stream on a hot day. He has the rare ability to frame arguments that are not only stimulating, they are downright nourishing, even if you don't always agree with him! In this new book he argues from a philosophical and neurobiological perspective that science can and should determine morality. His discussions will provoke different perspectives that there always will be an unbridgeable chasm between merely knowing what is and discerning what should be. As was the case with Harris/s previous books, readers are bound to come away with previously firm convictions about value of science and reason in our lives."

                                                    --Lawrence Krauss, Foundation Professor and Director of the
                                                      Origins Project at Arizona State University and author of the
                                                      Physics of Star Trek and Quantum Man: Richard Feynman's Life in
                                                      Science.

"This is an inspiring book, holding out as it does the possibility of a rational understanding of how to
  construct the good life with the aid of science, free from the accretions of religious superstition and
  cultural coercion."
