In this cogent and accessible introduction to philosophy, the distinguished author of Mortal Questions and The View from Nowhere sets forth the central problems of philosophical inquiry for the beginning student. Arguing that the best way to learn about philosophy is to think about its questions directly, Thomas Nagel considers possible solutions to nine problems - knowledge of the world beyond our minds, knowledge of other minds, the mind-body problem, free will, the basis of morality, right and wrong, the nature of death, the meaning of life, and the meaning of words. Although he states his own opinions clearly, Nagel leaves these fundamental questions open, allowing students to entertain other solutions and encouraging them to think for themselves.

pretty basic but thats what i expected. it went through a wide range of philosophical ideas in a very basic way while also adding additional nuances to the ideas the readers may not have previously had

good intro

Does what it says in the summary. Short and to the point. I’ll listen again

It's a quick read/listen but its very profound. I've thought about these topics for years and it does a great job of putting it all together in a simple to understand review of the most important questions we have in our lifetimes. A fantastic foundation for anyone who is a thinking being.

Everyone should read this book

I haven’t finished this and probably won’t. Not because it’s hard to understand, there’s just nothing new, interesting or in anyway useful here. I understand that it may have been targeting the novice philosopher but that doesn’t excuse the glaring omissions such as the proclamations of those who claim to have realized a state that transcends waking In such cases such as the mystic poets(Rumi,Kabir,Rilke) and the Brilliant Buddhist and Advaitic Sages. Since you don’t and can’t know what is true via the mind you, as the mind, why diddle your mind at all. It’s literally a form of masturbation. The Sages say be silent. Let go of the mind and stop vomiting meaningless claptrap.

Boring and naive to the point of obtuse

I really do not think the author did a poor job but for my interest it lacked scope and depth.
I should have reviewed others comments.
In fairness the author warned it was an intro

Not what I expected
