Science and the Good: The Tragic Quest for the Foundations of MoralityWhy efforts to create a scientific basis of morality are neither scientific nor moral In this illuminating book, James Davison Hunter and Paul Nedelisky trace the origins and development of the centuries long, passionate, but ultimately failed quest to discover a scientific foundation for morality. The "new moral science" led by such figures as E. O. Wilson, Patricia Churchland, Sam Harris, Jonathan Haidt, and Joshua Greene is only the newest
Why efforts to create a scientific basis of morality are neither scientific nor moral In this illuminating book, James Davison Hunter and Paul Nedelisky trace the origins and development of the centuries-long, passionate, but ultimately failed quest to discover a scientific foundation for morality. The "new moral science" led by such figures as E. 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. But 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. If there is nothing moral for science to discover, the science of morality becomes, at best, a feeble program to achieve arbitrary societal goals. Concise and rigorously argued, Science and the Good is a definitive critique of a would-be science that has gained extraordinary influence in public discourse today and an expos of that project's darker turn.Binding Type: Paperback

I Expected More Character-wise
Format: Kindle
Ryan North's Fantastic Four series is a fantastic read, and the titular heroes are a well-written team. But, the characters featured in this series seem pretty shallow, if not stupid.
I get that to move a series along you need the characters to exhibit recognizable surface-level traits and to get them into situations in rather short order, but asides from Doom's elaborate planning, the characters in this comic feel hollow to me.
There are eight more issues to go, and I'm onboard for the conclusion, but I hope that this main series gets some personality on its own apart from needing the accompanying tie-in series to do that.

The comic looks good, I've been reading it just for a short moment and the plot is great a little detective in the beginning. Thx
