Mind & Cosmos by Thomas Nagel
Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature is Almost Certainly False
This philosophical work challenges the prevailing scientific worldview by questioning the adequacy of materialist explanations for consciousness, cognition, and values. It argues that the reductionist approach of neo-Darwinian biology fails to account for the subjective nature of consciousness and the emergence of life, suggesting that a new framework is needed to understand the mind's place in the cosmos. The book proposes that an alternative, teleological perspective might better explain the existence and nature of consciousness, urging a reconsideration of the fundamental principles underlying our understanding of the universe.
