    Sam Harris: Critical Responses blends philosophy with political science in =
    a survey that intersects both disciplines by examining thinker Sam Harris a=
    nd his ideas. Nineteen critical essays consider a wide range of Harris's so= cial and political ideals, from how his Moral Landscape treatise works to h=
    is neuroscientific training and how it lends a particular perspective to hi=
    s views of AI technology, superintelligence, and other scientific evolution= ary processes. The result requires a prior familiarity with Sam Harris and = his works, but will prove enlightening to those with such a background, or = students interested in philosophical debates about his works and perspectiv= es.
