Mind and cosmos : why the materialist neo-Darwinian conception of nature is almost certainly false
Nagel, Thomas, 1937-2012
Books
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.
