The Moral Landscape (book)

*The Moral Landscape* by Sam Harris argues that moral questions are fundamentally linked to human well-being and can be addressed scientifically. Harris suggests that questions about what is right or wrong are not just philosophical but can be examined through neuroscience and empirical evidence about what promotes or hinders human flourishing. He advocates for a morality based on understanding the effects of our actions on well-being, encouraging a scientific approach to moral dilemmas rather than relying solely on tradition, religion, or subjective opinions. This perspective aims to ground morality in facts that can guide better decision-making for societal progress.
