ZM Global - Ep 136 - Science, Human Values and "Morality"




TZM Global Radio show

Summary: Matt Berkowitz of Zeitgeist Movement Vancouver and Ben McLeish of Zeitgeist UK discuss the existing moral climate of today, as well as the possible role of science in determining and informing human values. What is morally right? Can morality change? And what informs this change? Using Sam Harris' The Moral Landscape, and drawing on some parts of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of our Nature, among other sources, Matt and Ben attempt to summarize the current engines behind the formation of, and changes to, morality. Also: Other news from TZM, including Zeitgeist Day, the annual event-day, taking place globally on the weekend of March 15th, 2014.
