Mind and cosmos [Elektronisk resurs] : why the materialist neo-Darwinian conception of nature is almost certainly false
Böcker. New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press. 2012.
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.
