Het Morele Landschap by Sam Harris
How Science Can Determine Human Values
Argues that questions of right and wrong are empirical matters about the flourishing of conscious creatures and can, in principle, be answered by science; it proposes wellbeing as the foundation for morality, uses the metaphor of a “landscape” with peaks and valleys representing better and worse ways to flourish, rejects moral relativism and purely faith-based ethics, and urges the use of neuroscience, psychology, and social science to discover objective moral truths while acknowledging practical and philosophical complexities.
