Mind and Cosmos

Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False
Summary:

The book challenges the widely accepted materialistic view of the universe, particularly criticizing the neo-Darwinian framework of evolution for failing to account for consciousness, reason, and value. It argues for a teleological, non-reductive understanding of nature that includes mind as a fundamental aspect of the cosmos.

Key points:

1. Materialist Neo-Darwinism Critique: Nagel believes this approach, reliant on evolution, fails to explain consciousness, cognition, and values.
