Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions

[Purple Rabbit]

I guess it depends how "moral" is defined.

If moral, or IOW "what we should value" is defined as that which causes less suffering and better well-being for conscious beings in the long run, that's a factual matter and can be dealt with.

Yeah, but that is a choice for a specific moral goal.

"Why not make morality a subject in science?" I guess is what Harris is saying. The fact we can't all agree on exactly what "healthy" is doesn't mean there aren't obvious truths about it.... why can't morality be treated in the same way?

It can be treated that way to inform moral rationale. It cannot generate moral values.
