Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature is Almost Certainly False
Nagel, Thomas (University Professor of Law and Philosophy, University Professor of Law and Philosophy, New York University)
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.
