Scientific Morality! It's about time!

[Mister Agenda]

I read Harris's The Moral Landscape, and it contained interesting points and information. However, Harris thinks he has gotten from 'is' to 'ought', and he hasn't. Science is great for helping us gain what we value. It can even tell us what it would be useful to value if we want to gain a particular good. But it can't tell us what we should want. It can tell us that most of us want to live, and it can tell us how to live longer, it can even explain why most of us want to live...but it can't explain why we SHOULD want to live. When it comes to morality, we still can't find deeper ground for it than 'oughts'. From science we can get 'hows'.
