Episode 108 - The Moral Landscape, Part 2

But in his new book The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values, Sam Harris argued that science can—and should—be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life.

This presentation was given at the New York Society for Ethical Culture for the Center for Inquiry – New York City on October 7, 2010.
