The Moral Landscape
“The Moral Landscape” formed the subject of 3 recent services, animated by Sooky Dunton and Rev. Carole Martignacco. These discussions were based on the book of that name by Sam Harris.
The purpose of this post is to let you comment and enlarge upon this theme, so please do so. What did you learn from the discussions, what do you think?
Mr Harris believes that morality has a scientific basis. He seems to be following the ethical theory of Utilitarianism. That calls for choosing the best action that maximises overall happiness, not weighing one’s own happiness more that that of any other. However, Harris prefers to use the term “Well being” instead.
