Other Minds

Over the past twenty-five years, Thomas Nagel has played a major role in the current public dialogue on subjectivity and consciousness, objectivity and ethics, liberalism and reason. In a wide range of publications, like the New York Review of Books and in several books, he has participated in an exhilarating exchange of ideas on analytical philosophy that has helped define its ascendancy in this country. This major new collection of published essays and reviews offers Nagel's opinionated views over the years on the philosophy of mind, ethics, and political philosophy, as well as the work of fellow philosophers like Freud, Wittgenstein, Rawls, Dennet, Chomsky, Searle, Nozick, Dworkin, and MacIntyre. Vital, accessible, and controversial, these writings represent the best of one of our leading thinkers.
