Entry: Brooks and the Fallacy of the Misplaced Concrete Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/brooks_and_the_fallacy_of_the_misplaced_concrete#26441 Post contents: Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith and PhD Candidate in neurology at UCLA, exemplifies this trend well. His recent work, "Functional Neuroimaging of Belief..." as well as his call for transcending experiences (through meditation or dugs) demonstrates a popular atheistic desire to have the spiritual without the religious. In the course of doing so, he admits (and even demonstrates) the subjectivity of human thought on once supposed "objective categories." I've reviewed his most recent work on: http://21stcenturytabletalk.blogspot.com/2008/05/authors-note-this-is-more-developed.html Sent at: 2008 12 02
