Mind and Cosmos

I recently read a lengthy and fascinating review of the book Mind and Cosmos by Thomas Nagel.  Nagel is an atheist philosopher who objects to the idea that Darwinism can explain everything about what it means to be human.  I’m not sure how much I agree with him (and I haven’t read the book), but…
