Summary:
The book argues that science and reason can be used to determine objective measures of human well-being, thus informing our understanding of moral values. It challenges the notion that morality is solely the domain of religion or cultural relativism, proposing instead that empirical evidence can guide ethical decision-making.
Key points:
1. Morality and Well-being: Harris links morality to the well-being of conscious beings, suggesting science can determine moral right and wrong.
