 Level: 6 CS Original | http://www.amazon.com/Moral-Landscape-Science-Determine-Values/dp/1451612788</p> Not sure if I should spend my audible point on it, but it does have a dang good ratio of good:bad reviews so far. | |||||

 Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | "In this book Sam Harris admirably attempts to steer between a moral absolutism that has answers to most moral questions and a relativism that has nothing objective to say about them. For him moral facts exist, but relativism is false." Hm, I'd agree with that. | |||||
