SAM HARRIS, THE MORAL LANDSCAPE, AND SOME UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 January 2013
Extract
In this dialogue, two college students, Katie and Dennis, discuss some of the positions taken by Sam Harris in his recent work The Moral Landscape. They discover that, first, theories of ethics based on human well-being are nothing new; they also question whether Harris has truly closed the door on moral subjectivism. Next, while remaining sympathetic to Harris, they question how much he has really accomplished by equating human well-being with specific brain states, and wonder if blissful brain states based on delusion can really be associated with a life well lived.
