If you asked most people to name 2 or 3 current Professors of Ethics you'd find Peter Singer at the top of your list. I wonder if he can also refute Bentham on day one of a good Ethics class as you can. I would certainly not call Sam Sam Harris an amateur and I would place a large bet on his close familiarity with Aquinas, Kant as well as Bentham or Singer with whom he is in agreement from his degrees in philosophy, his constant debates on the subject and his professional life as a writer and lecturer on the subject. He is a proponent of treating questions of a moral, religious or transcendental nature as scientific questions to be approached via reason. He is a neuroscientist. * I'm think Thomas Aquinas was a saint, not a knight.
