Mortal Questions

Thomas Nagel (born July 4, 1937) is an American philosopher who is currently University Professor of Philosophy and Law Emeritus at New York University, where he has taught since 1980. His main philosophical interests are mind philosophy, political philosophy, and ethics.

Mortal Questions by Thomas Nagel delves into some fundamental questions about the meaning, nature, and value of human life. Death, sexual behavior, social inequality, war, and political power are shown to lead to more obvious philosophical problems about personal identity, consciousness, freedom, and value. In its lively engagement with what are literally issues of life and death, this original and illuminating book aims at a form of understanding that is both theoretical and personal.

Thomas Nagel writes with the clarity and simplicity that analytical philosophers have always admired. If anyone can capture and hold the general reader's attention with this book, it has to be Thomas Nagel. Mortal Questions by Thomas Nagel is regarded as one of the best books on ethics.
