See this video for a broader explanation of a science-based (not postmodernist) ethics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj9oB4zpHww A growing scientific, objective, evidence-based view of Ethics and Morality “Just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim Algebra, we will see that there is no such thing as Christian or Muslim morality.” “If our well-being depends upon the interaction between events in our brains and events in the world, and there are better and worse ways to secure it, then some cultures will tend to produce lives that are more worth living than others; some political persuasions will be more enlightened than others; and some world views will be mistaken in ways that cause needless human misery.” http://www.amazon.com/B raintrust-Neuroscience- Tells-about- Morality/dp/0691156344 There are many peaks in the moral landscape, not just one. Morality is here like food. There is no one best food to eat, but there is still an objective difference between poison and tasty, nutritious cuisine.
