  • The View From Nowhere

    by Thomas Nagel ...
    Human beings have the unique ability to view the world in a detached way: We can think about the world in terms that transcend our own experience or interest, and consider the world from a vantage point that is, in Nagel's words, "nowhere in particular". At the same time, each of us is a particular person in a particular place, each with his own "personal" view of the world, a view that we can ... Read more

  • The Last Word

    by Thomas Nagel ...
    If there is such a thing as reason, it has to be universal. Reason must reflect objective principles whose validity is independent of our point of view--principles that anyone with enough intelligence ought to be able to recognize as correct. But this generality of reason is what relativists and subjectivists deny in ever-increasing numbers. And such subjectivism is not just an inconsequential ... Read more

  • Freud, the Reluctant Philosopher

    by Alfred I. Tauber ...
    Freud began university intending to study both medicine and philosophy. But he was ambivalent about philosophy, regarding it as metaphysical, too limited to the conscious mind, and ignorant of empirical knowledge.

    Series series Studies in Epistemology and Cognitive Theory
    Ancients and moderns alike have constructed arguments and assessed theories on the basis of common sense and intuitive judgments.

In addition ... Read more
