who knows Thomas Nagel?

Answer 1

Thomas Nagel (born July 4, 1937, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia) (now Serbia) is University Professor of Philosophy and Law at New York University and member of the Board of Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica. He received a Bachelor degree from Cornell University in 1958, a BPhil from Oxford University in 1960, and a doctorate from Harvard University in 1963 where he studied with John Rawls. Nagel taught briefly at the University of California at Berkeley and from 1967 to 1980 at Princeton University before moving to New York University. At NYU he now holds the rank of University Professor.

Much of his work has been organized around the tension between objective and subjective perspectives: on reasons for action, on agency, on experience, and on reality as a whole. He is known within the field of philosophy of mind as an advocate of the idea that consciousness and subjective experience cannot be reduced to brain activity. Nagel, along with Bernard Williams, has also contributed much to the early development of the problem of moral luck, detailing its various aspects, and analyzing its impact on ethics and moral evaluation. For many years, Nagel has conducted a seminar noted for a dazzling array of guest speakers with his colleague Ronald Dworkin.

Most recently, Professor Nagel has been elected to the American Philosophical Society founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1743, joining the oldest scholarly society in the nation whose members include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein.
