If reading the book is a requirement for commenting, I'm out. So, if you can supply his thesis and perhaps an argument or two, I might be interested in the issue. From what I tell, it looks like a brain scientist discussing how moral decisions are made. I'm not sure how neurological study shows right from wrong. It sounds like moral psychology, which appears to deny the existence of free will, and hence the existence of morality itself.
