Did he actually manage to change your mind about scientific morality though? That seems to be the one area where he's met with a lot of resistance from the secular types.
Specifically that science can quatify the morality of various actions and doings. This is what his last book is all about, "The Moral Landscape". He talks about it here on a TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s_right.html http://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s_...
A lot of people are unconvinced, but he's definitely the guy to be making these arguments, considering he got his PhD in neuroscience.
- ucarion 13y agoJust finished reading "The Moral Landscape" -- to me it's clear that morality is just as much a science as medecine or economics is.
