Thomas Nagel (/ˈneɪɡəl/; born July 4, 1937) is an American philosopher, currently University Professor of Philosophy and Law Emeritus at New York University in the NYU Department of Philosophy, where he has taught since 1980. 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.

Derived from Thomas Nagel's Locke Lectures, Equality and Partiality proposes a nonutopian account of political legitimacy, based on the need to accommodate both personal and impersonal motives in any credible moral theory, and therefore in any political theory with a moral foundation. Within each individual, Nagel believes, there is a division between two standpoints, the personal and the impersonal. Without the impersonal standpoint, there would be no morality, only the clash, compromise, and occasional convergence of individual perspectives. It is because a human being does not occupy only his own point of view that each of us is susceptible to the claims of others through private and public morality. Political systems, to be legitimate, must achieve an integration of these two standpoints within the individual. These ideas are applied to specific problems such as social and economic inequality, toleration, international justice, and the public support of culture. Nagel points to the problem of balancing equality and partiality as the most important issue with which political theorists are now faced.
内格尔的书真是让人纠结诶……
评分内格尔的书真是让人纠结诶……
评分恨没有早看!内格尔把其‘非个人视角’应用到政治理论领域的尝试,结合斯坎伦‘合理拒绝’论述而主张具备政治合法性的基础制度安排乃基于对非个人及个人视角下理由的调和;单纯仰赖非个人或个人视角理由的基础制度安排都无法符合‘合理拒绝’的元伦理原则。提出部分构成合法性基础的所谓‘道德分工原则’,在基础制度框架与在该制度框架下的个体行为在制度设施中反映两种视角。指出(在基础制度框架范畴内)实现均等分配在政治合法性上的困难及为非均等的部分分配结果进行辩护。两视角的冲突与调和作为证成方案的基础似乎比罗尔斯方案的基础更令人信服,在对非偏倚分配的要求上似乎比后者走得更远(内格尔似乎信纳帕菲特的‘优先性原则’作为对罗氏‘差别原则’的重述)。论述无比清晰流畅,对合法性问题之根的解读充满洞见!
评分对John Rawls理论的补充和回应,提出的问题很重要。小身材大味道。
