Bog beskrivelse
In the first systematic study of the philosophy of Thomas Nagel, Alan Thomas discusses Nagel''s contrast between the "subjective" and the "objective" points of view throughout the various areas of his wide ranging philosophy. Nagel''s original and distinctive contrast between the subjective view and our aspiration to a "view from nowhere" within metaphysics structures the chapters of the book. A "new Humean" in epistemology, Nagel takes philosophical scepticism to be both irrefutable and yet to indicate a profound truth about our capacity for self-transcendence. The contrast between subjective and objective views is then considered in the case of the mind, where consciousness proves to be the central aspect of mind that contemporary theorising fails to acknowledge adequately. The second half of the book analyses Nagel''s work on moral and political philosophy where he has been most deeply influential. Topics covered include the contrast between agent-relative and agent-neutral reasons and values, Nagel''s distinctive version of a hybrid ethical theory, his discussion of life''s meaningfulness and finally his sceptical arguments about whether a liberal society can reconcile the conflicting moral demands of self and other.
