About the Author
Thomas Nagel is Professor of Philosophy and Law at New York University.
Review
"In ten brief but generally well-written chapters, Nagel guides the uninitiated reader through some of the more perplexing philosophical problems, from the question of whether mind and body are different entities, to the nature (and possibility) of free will, to morality, justice, and the
meaning of life and death.... His style is clear and free of technical terms, and the book should appeal to those who know little or nothing of the discipline."--Library Journal
"Nagel does manage to give one a taste of what it is to think philosophically about things. This in itself is a worthy accomplishment in our busy, unphilosophical age. And unlike most academic introductions to the subject, his book preserves some trace of that sense of wonder that both Plato
and Aristotle claimed was the origin of philosophical reflection."--Wall Street Journal
