Mind And Cosmos by Thomas Nagel
Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False
A philosophical critique of materialist neo-Darwinism, arguing that consciousness, reason, and moral value cannot be fully explained by current physicalist accounts or by chance-and-selection alone. It proposes that subjective experience and rationality are fundamental aspects of reality that demand an expanded conception of nature, potentially involving teleological principles or new laws. Rejecting both reductive physicalism and theistic explanations, it sketches a naturalistic framework in which mind is not an accidental byproduct but a basic feature of the universe.
