À propos de cet audio

 New York Times bestselling author Sam Harris’s first book, The End of Faith, ignited a worldwide debate about the validity of religion. In the aftermath, Harris discovered that most people—from religious fundamentalists to non-believing scientists—agree on one point: science has nothing to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, our failure to address questions of meaning and morality through science has now become the primary justification for religious faith.

In this highly controversial book, Sam Harris seeks to link morality to the rest of human knowledge. Defining morality in terms of human and animal well-being, Harris argues that science can do more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, tell us how we ought to be. In his view, moral relativism is simply false—and comes at an increasing cost to humanity. And the intrusions of religion into the sphere of human values can be finally repelled: for just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim algebra, there can be no Christian or Muslim morality. Using his expertise in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his experience on the front lines of our “culture wars,” Harris delivers a game-changing book about the future of science and about the real basis of human cooperation.

It's not often that someone can present a new and bold idea I don't agree with, convince me and then do it again multiple times. Sam Harris has changed my world view.

Profound, necessary, and carefully argued, The Moral Landscape systematically dismantles moral relativism and its pervasive place in present moral discourse. Harris pulls no punches in framing the necessity of a values-based conversation on a civilizational scale routed in a scientific understanding of what is possible for human experience. If you were not convinced by this breathtakingly written and well-substantiated argument, it must simply be the case that you were paying attention.

The Moral Landscape sits astride an optimistic future of moral discourse

I really enjoyed listening to this book, it gets you thinking about life and the way you conduct yourself. And just seeing the world through a new lense.

Compared to Sam's other books, I appreciate that he read it himself since the previous narrator didn't do it justice and seemed like he disagreed with what he was reading in the book.

Fantastic book.
