Can We Ever Be Right About Right And Wrong?

Sam Harris
May 21, 2009

Video: The Science Network

Sam Harris speaks about the rational basis for morality at the 2008 Beyond Belief conference at the Salk Institute.  He argues that science should not cede the territory of morals and values to religion.  He predicts that just as religion used to be the authority on medicine, science, and physics before science pushed it aside, religion’s monopoly on ethics will also get pushed aside as science makes progress on questions of morality.  This lecture is intellectually very significant because it attacks the prevailing “non-overlapping magistera” split between science and religion.
