托馬斯·內格爾(Thomas Nagel),紐約大學哲學與法學教授、美國人文科學院院士和不列顛學院院士,是當代西方哲學界政治哲學、倫理學和心靈哲學領城內的領軍人物。著有The Possibility of Altruism, The View from Nowhere等一係列深入淺齣的哲學讀本,影響深遠。
In Mind and Cosmos Thomas Nagel argues that the widely accepted world view of materialist naturalism is untenable. The mind-body problem cannot be confined to the relation between animal minds and animal bodies. If materialism cannot accommodate consciousness and other mind-related aspects of reality, then we must abandon a purely materialist understanding of nature in general, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmology. Since minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete. And the cosmological history that led to the origin of life and the coming into existence of the conditions for evolution cannot be a merely materialist history. An adequate conception of nature would have to explain the appearance in the universe of materially irreducible conscious minds, as such. No such explanation is available, and the physical sciences, including molecular biology, cannot be expected to provide one. The book explores these problems through a general treatment of the obstacles to reductionism, with more specific application to the phenomena of consciousness, cognition, and value. The conclusion is that physics cannot be the theory of everything.

評分如果用單純的生物學硬件實現快樂和痛苦,對於我們這個有意識的生物群體在自然界中的適應性會有怎樣的影響呢?其價值是沒什麼實際意義的,即便是有,也局限於我們的文化係統內。因為這個係統隻會解釋齣人能感知到的事物,卻根本不會解釋它自身。 什麼是一個好的解釋,在很大程度...

評分打起來,打起來
評分難道“心靈哲學”就是philosophy of mind麼那真是我瞭個大槽= =……還有為毛常用標簽裏麵會有“護教”= =…… / Nagel雖然竭力避免背上Platonism的metaphysical luggage,但是(好吧我覺得肯定是因為我沒有看懂)我真的不明白他如果強調value最終是"independent",那要如何看待value的come into being與生命的進化正好同步(因為natural order的inclination)?而且更關鍵是為何前者會作用於後者?(還是因為natural order的inclination??)
