Thomas Nagel is widely recognized as one of the top American
philosophers working today. Reflecting the diversity of his many
philosophical preoccupations, this volume is a collection of his most
recent critical essays and reviews.The first section, Public and
Private, focuses on the notion of privacy in the context of social and
political issues, such as the impeachment of President Clinton. The
second section, Right and Wrong, discusses moral, political and legal
theory, and includes pieces on John Rawls, G.A. Cohen, and T.M.
Scanlon, among others. The final section, Mind and Reality, features
discussions of Richard Rorty, Donald Davidson, and the Sokal hoax, and
closes with a substantial new essay on the mind-body problem. Written
with characteristic rigor, these pieces reveal the intellectual
passion underlying the incisive analysis for which Nagel is known.
