Science and Morality: Short And To The Point

Steven Pinker's take on science and morality:

"Science is indispensable in determining right from wrong but not enough for determining right from wrong."

He believes morality essentially comes from reason, not from religion, with the help of scientists, social scientists, political scientists, historians, journalists, essayists, polemists, legal scholars and moral philosophers. Morality relies on evidence and logic, not dogma, authority or subjective feeling.
