However, a similar objection was noted by Thomas Nagel in 1970 who claimed that consequentialism ‘ treats the desires, needs, satisfactions, and dissatisfactions of distinct persons as if they were the desires, etc., of a mass person .’ and even earlier by David Gauthier who wrote that utilitarianism supposes ‘ that mankind is a super-person, whose greatest satisfaction is the objective of moral action.

In Knut Hamsun's 1892 novel Mysteries, the characters, on a couple of occasions, briefly discuss Charles Stewart Parnell, particularly in relation to Gladstone: " Dr. Stenerson had a high opinion of Parnell, but if Gladstone was so opposed to him, he must know what he was about — with apologies to the host, Mr. Nagel, who couldn't forgive Gladstone for being an honourable man ".

Like the British philosopher Bernard Williams, Nagel believes that the rise of modern science has permanently changed how people think of the world and our place in it.

And that, Nagel believes, would be a falsely objectifying view.

As a philosophical rationalist, Nagel believes that a proper understanding of the place of mental properties in nature will involve a revolution in our understanding of both the physical and the mental, and that this is a reasonable prospect that people can anticipate in the near future.

Part of the puzzlement here is because of the limitations of imagination: influenced by his Princeton colleague, Saul Kripke, Nagel believes that any type identity statement that identified a physical state type with a mental state type would be, if true, necessarily true.

Nagel contrasts this view with a rival view which believes that a moral agent can only accept that he or she has a reason to act if the desire to carry out the action has an independent justification ( an account based on presupposing sympathy would be of this kind ).

Comparable to the views of the nineteenth century moral philosopher Henry Sidgwick, Nagel believes that one needs to conceive of one's good as an impersonal good and one's reasons as objective reasons.

Following Warren Quinn and Frances Kamm, Nagel grounds them on the inviolability of persons.

Nagel notes that new physical properties are discovered through explanatory inference from known physical properties ; following a similar process, mental properties would seem to derive from properties of matter not included under the label of " physical properties ", and so they must be additional properties of matter.

Ramul believed that history is dependent upon psychology, though the philosopher of science Ernest Nagel criticized him for " not stat clearly the type of psychological investigation which is relevant to the historian's task " ( Nagel 1934, pp. 599-600 ).

In the essay What is it like to be a bat ?, Thomas Nagel famously argued that explaining subjective experience — the " what it is like " to be something — is currently beyond the reach of scientific inquiry, because scientific understanding by definition requires an objective perspective, which, according to Nagel, is diametrically opposed to the subjective first-person point of view.

Post's solution to the problem is described in the demonstration An Example of a Successful Absolute Proof of Consistency offered by Ernest Nagel and James R. Newman in their 1958 Gödel's Proof.

In a thorough manner Post demonstrates in PM, and defines ( as do Nagel and Newman, see below ), that the property of tautologous – as yet to be defined – is " inherited ": if one begins with a set of tautologous axioms ( postulates ) and a deduction system that contains substitution and modus ponens then a consistent system will yield only tautologous formulas.

Nagel and Newman can now define the notion of tautologous: " a formula is a tautology if, and only if, it falls in the class K < sub > 1 </ sub > no matter in which of the two classes its elements are placed ".

However, as Nagel and Newman ( 1958: 96 – 99 ) explain, there is still room for a proof that cannot be formalized in arithmetic:

The Nagel triangle of ABC is denoted by the vertices X < sub > A </ sub >, X < sub > B </ sub > and X < sub > C </ sub > that are the three points where the excircles touches the reference triangle ABC and where X < sub > A </ sub > is opposite of A, etc.

Philosopher Thomas Nagel has supported Sokal and Bricmont, describing their book as consisting largely of " extensive quotations of scientific gibberish from name-brand French intellectuals, together with eerily patient explanations of why it is gibberish ," and agreeing that " there does seem to be something about the Parisian scene that is particularly hospitable to reckless verbosity.

Contrary to this seeming skepticism about the objective claims of science Nagel thinks that it is importantly true that science describes the world that exists independently of us.

Nagel thinks that philosophers over-impressed by the paradigm of the kind of objective understanding represented by modern science tend to produce theories of the mind that are falsely objectifying in precisely this kind of way.

In his later work on ethics, Nagel no longer places as much weight on the distinction between a person's personal or " subjective " reasons and his or her " objective " reasons.

Once again Nagel places such weight on the objective point of view and its requirements that he finds Rawls's view of liberal equality not demanding enough.

For Nagel, honoring the objective point of view demands nothing less.
