O. Wilson, Patricia Churchland, Sam Harris, Jonathan Haidt, and Joshua Greene is only the newest manifestation of that quest. Though claims for its accomplishments are often wildly exaggerated, this new iteration has been no more successful than its predecessors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut rather than giving up in the face of this failure, the new moral science has taken a surprising turn. Whereas earlier efforts sought to demonstrate what is right and wrong, the new moral scientists have concluded, ironically, that right and wrong don’t actually exist. Their (perhaps unwitting) moral nihilism turns the science of morality into a social engineering project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf there is nothing moral for science to discover, the science of morality becomes, at best, a feeble program to achieve arbitrary societal goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConcise and rigorously argued, \u003cem\u003eScience and the Good\u003c\/em\u003e is a definitive critique of a would-be science that has gained extraordinary influence in public discourse today and an exposé of that project’s darker turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000737251564,"sku":"9780300251821","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24515953482294.jpg?v=1763301397"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/paul-nedelisky.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
