The Philosophy Shelf Sam Harris: Critical Responses Sandra Woien, Editor Open Universe 315 - 5th St., Peru IL 61354 www.carusbooks.com 9781637700242, $24.95 https://www.amazon.com/Sam-Harris-Critical-Responses/dp/1637700245 Sam Harris: Critical Responses blends philosophy with political science in a survey that intersects both disciplines by examining thinker Sam Harris and his ideas. Nineteen critical essays consider a wide range of Harris's social and political ideals, from how his Moral Landscape treatise works to his neuroscientific training and how it lends a particular perspective to his views of AI technology, superintelligence, and other scientific evolutionary processes. The result requires a prior familiarity with Sam Harris and his works, but will prove enlightening to those with such a background, or students interested in philosophical debates about his works and perspectives.
