“The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values” by Sam Harris argues that science and reason can provide answers to moral questions, challenging the view that morality is solely the domain of religion or philosophy. Harris posits that moral values are rooted in the well-being of conscious creatures and that science can help us understand and promote well-being. He advocates for a scientific approach to ethics, suggesting that objective truths about human flourishing exist and can be discovered through empirical investigation.
