Science magazine - February 25, 2011
Science is a multi disciplinary, weekly peer reviewed journal, ranks as the world's most prestigious scientific journal. The journal was established by Thomas Edison in 1880 and has been the official journal of AAAS since 1900. Content includes original research, news, book reviews, and coverage of events in the scientific community.
In this explosive new book, 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 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.
