THE MORAL LANDSCAPE: HOW SCIENCE CAN DETERMINE HUMAN VALUES, by NEUROSCIENTIST SAM HARRIS

WHY DID NEUROSCIENTIST SAM HARRIS WRITE HIS BOOK?                                           

This is what he said:

"My goal is to convince you that human knowledge and human values can no longer be kept apart. The world of measurement and the world of meaning must eventually be reconciled. And science and religion --being antithetical ways of thinking about the same reality -- will never come to terms. As with all matters of fact, differences of opinion on moral questions merely reveal the incompleteness of our knowledge; they do not oblige us to respect a diversity of views in definitely."*
