Kant was one of the original critics of psychic confusions, but his perspective ironically demonstrated the way in which a larger framework than Newtonian physics was needed for the discussion of man, his ethics, and will.
Sam Harris’ The Moral Landscape shows a kind of wilful obtuseness in having learned nothing. Reductionist views of man will never work, but scientists apparently think brainwashing the public is enough.
