Sam Harris, author of The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values (forthcoming) continues describing “the New Science of Morality” in Edge 325: And yet, on the subject of morality, we seem to think that the possibility of differing opinions, the fact that someone can come forward and say that his morality has nothing [...]

The other night I finally watched Surrogates (2009) starring Bruce Willis. The story takes place several decades in the future and essentially portrays 21st century society as a giant “grid” of humanoid robots that take the place of natural human bodies.

Excerpts from the mailbag: …And because of the naturalistic worldview of the majority in my country (France, be merciful if my english is not fine…) or through the web, debate about the brain/mind relation arrived quite often. So, several times it crossed my mind that I have to know more about science in that domain. [...]
