I almost did indeed mean that Giordano Bruno Foundation and Working Group Evolutionary Biology would passionately preach to the utilitarian. Finally, propagated by them-run Internet portal Evo magazine again and again and again the recent book by Sam Harris. But then I saw that the imprint both operations at once on the content of the contributions in Evo magazine distance. So seems the "objective ethics," a personal passion of the "senior editor" Andreas Mueller to be. And that is quite interesting. For here you see something you know well of religious people to ignore the enlightened humanist in his own ranks but happy and consistent since it does not fit well with the self-image: It is the believe what you want to be convinced. And especially the last part of the review of Harris' book Talking louder than the author might deliberately is. We find after a non-targeted sweeping blow against "feminist theories" (with such minor inaccuracies as the Board, the German government would spend money on "eco-feminism", although the intentioned professor teaches their nonsense at the University of Innsbruck) against and an ethical "relativism", as well as resistance to the insight that there could be a culture-sensitive theory of knowledge, a really exciting conclusion. For it seems to the author must have been aware that there are some logical objections to his favorite view of the world. And what of the self-taught fundamentalist does in such a situation? Exactly - the logic is nonsense, of course!
A sentence like he fresh from a Kreationistenwebsite could come! And while the author can not be further irritated by "logic games", I want to thank him for this wonderful self-expression!
