Рад
[уреди | уреди извор]Нејгел је познат по својој критици материјалних редукционистичких приказа ума, посебно у свом есеју What Is It Like to Be a Bat? (1974), и по доприносу либералној моралној и политичкој теорији у The Possibility of Altruism (1970) и каснијим списима. Наставио је критику редукционизма у делу [1]Mind and Cosmos (2012), у којем се залаже против неодарвинистичког погледа на појаву свести.
Доживите себе као добро
[уреди | уреди извор]Нејгел је записао: „Постоје елементи који, ако се додају нечијем искуству, чине живот бољим; постоје други елементи који ако се додају нечијем искуству, погоршавају живот. Али оно што остаје када се ови оставе по страни није само неутрално: то је наглашено позитивно. ... Додатну позитивну тежину даје само искуство, а не било која последица искуства.“[4][5]

- ^ The full quotation is "... the natural view that death is an evil because it brings to an end all the goods that life contains. We need not give an account of these goods here, except to observe that some of them, like perception, desire, activity, and thought, are so general as to be constitutive of human life. They are widely regarded as formidable benefits in themselves, despite the fact that they are conditions of misery as well as of happiness, and that a sufficient quantity of more particular evils can perhaps outweigh them. That is what is meant, I think by the allegation that it is good simply to be alive, even if one is undergoing terrible experiences. The situation is roughly this: There are elements which, it added to one's experience, make life better; there are other elements which if added to one's experience, make life worse. But what remains when these are set aside is not merely neutral: it is emphatically positive. Therefore life is worth living even when the bad elements of experience are plentiful, and the good ones too meager to outweigh the bad ones on their own. The additional positive weight is supplied by experience itself, rather than by any of its consequences."
