Science & the Good: The Tragic Quest for the Foundations of Morality

“Science and the Good is a closely argued, always accessible riposte to those who think scientific study can explain, improve or even supersede morality [. . .] A generous and thoughtful critique”—Simon Ings, The Daily Telegraph

\”Science and the Good is a compelling critique of half-baked ideas that have acquired pervasive and unwarranted influence in Anglophone public discourse today. One could not ask for a more timely and incisive contribution to contemporary cultural debate.\”—Jackson Lears, Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of History, Rutgers University

\”Science and the Good provides an incisive and timely analysis of the pressing question: can science demonstrate what morality is and how we should live?  Hunter and Nedelisky carefully expose the inadequacies and dangers of ‘the new science of morality.’\”—Peter Harrison, author of The Territories of Science and Religion
