14 May 2010 Sam Harris~ Toward a Science of Morality?? |
The scientific method is the formulation of theories on the bases of a relatively small amount of facts through observation, a systematic arrangement of the results to determine their relationships, and finally drawing logical conclusions.
What would the facts be in regards to morality? How can morality be observed?
What possible relationships could there be? And finally: how can one draw logical conclusions with no facts. And who's morality do you pick? Every tribe, country, business has their own morality or ethics. They are not all ideal for everyone envolved, even though they are for some.
Science of moralty is like Christian Science----it's not science! I thinks it amusing to think of what the laws of morality would be. The laws of science won't do, unless you believe in every action there is a reaction, like an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
