As is the norm he is out giving interviews and building interest in the book. In an interview at AVClub he outlines his purpose in writing the book and some of his conclusions. In this latest offering Harris tackles the question of morality. He finds the abdication of moral framework by science and scientists to be unfortunate to say the least. Such an abdication leaves a place for religion. This is something that Dr. Harris finds regrettable.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/wp.patheos.com\/community\/jesuscreed\/files\/2010\/09\/Thinker.jpg"}
