The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values

Sam Harris' latest book The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values hits on some themes familiar to readers of End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation. But pulling together the best from a wide variety of fields, Sam Harris is really carving a path for himself unlike the other three of the four horsemen (Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens).

The Moral Landscape asks interesting questions, and uses savvy "intuition pumps" (to use a phrase of Daniel Dennett, who is cited in several parts of this book) to challenge even those whose mind is made up.

Harris' neuroscience background allows him to explore themes that most philosophers can't touch -- like what belief really is.

I am already looking forward to where Harris goes next from here, and this is hardly the end of the ride through The Moral Landscape
