Thomas Nagel
Thomas Nagel (; born July 4, 1937) is an American philosopher, currently University Professor of Philosophy and Law Emeritus at New York University, where he has taught since 1980.〔https://its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofiles/profile.cfm?personID=20156〕 His main areas of philosophical interest are philosophy of mind, political philosophy and ethics.
Nagel is well known for his critique of reductionist accounts of the mind, particularly in his essay "What Is it Like to Be a Bat?" (1974), and for his contributions to deontological and liberal moral and political theory in ''The Possibility of Altruism'' (1970) and subsequent writings. Continuing his critique of reductionism, he is the author of ''Mind and Cosmos'' (2012), in which he argues against a reductionist view, and specifically the neo-Darwinian view, of the emergence of consciousness.
