Θεμελιώδη Φιλοσοφικά Προβλήματα
Ο καλύτερος τρόπος για να ανακαλύψουμε τι είναι η φιλοσοφία είναι να φιλοσοφήσουμε οι ίδιοι. Αυτή είναι η κατευθυντήρια γραμμή της σκέψης του Τόμας Νάγκελ και ο κύριος λόγος που τον ώθησε στη συγγραφή αυτής της σύντομης αλλά περιεκτικής εισαγωγής στη φιλοσοφία. Τα φιλοσοφικά προβλήματα θεωρούνται γενικά δυσνόητα, αφηρημένα και απόμακρα από την καθημερινή μας ζωή. Το βιβλίο αυτό επιχειρεί, αντίθετα, να δείξει πως τα φιλοσοφικά ερωτήματα είναι αυτά που κάθε σκεπτόμενος άνθρωπος θέτει κάποια στιγμή στον εαυτό του, όταν προσπαθεί να κατανοήσει το σκοπό και το νόημα της ζωής του μέσα στον κόσμο, την επικοινωνία του με τους συνανθρώπους του, τις αιτίες και τις συνέπειες της συμπεριφοράς του μέσα στην κοινωνία.

His main areas of philosophical interest are philosophy of mind, political philosophy and ethics. He is well-known for his critique of reductionist accounts of the mind in his essay "What Is it Like to Be a Bat?" (1974), and for his contributions to deontological and liberal moral and political theory in The Possibility of Altruism (1970) and subsequent writings.
Thomas Nagel was born to a Jewish family in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). He received a BA from Cornell University in 1958, a BPhil from Oxford University in 1960, and a PhD from Harvard University in 1963 under the supervision of John Rawls. Before settling in New York, Nagel taught briefly at the University of California, Berkeley (from 1963 to 1966) and at Princeton University (from 1966 to 1980), where he trained many well-known philosophers including Susan Wolf, Shelly Kagan, and Samuel Scheffler, who is now his colleague at NYU. In 2006, he was made a member of the American Philosophical Society.
