DescriptionIn this highly anticipated new book, the bestselling author of The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation call for an end to religion's monopoly on morality and human values. Promotion infoAn explosive book that calls for an end to religion's monopoly on morality. Reviews"Reading Sam Harris is like drinking water from a cool stream on a hot day. He has the rare ability to frame arguments that are not only stimulating, they are downright nourishing, even if you don't always agree with him! In this new book he argues from a philosophical and a neurobiological perspective that science can and should determine morality. His discussions will provoke secular liberals and religious conservatives alike, who jointly argue from different perspectives that there always will be an unbridgeable chasm between merely knowing what is and discerning what should be. As was the case with Harris' previous books, readers are bound to come away with previously firm convictions about the world challenged, and a vital new awareness about the nature and value of science and reason in our lives." - "Lawrence M.
