Moral Reality and Moral Progress

For over forty years now, Thomas Nagel has been a major contributor to many central discussions in philosophy. He is the author of such texts as “What Is It Like to Be a Bat?” (in the philosophy of mind), The Possibility of Altruism (in metaethics), Equality and Partiality (in political philosophy), “Moral Luck” (in moral philosophy), and The View from Nowhere (putting forward a general philosophical view, with contributions to almost every sub-field). His texts discuss rights, sex, war, the meaning of life, neo-Darwinism (and why it is almost certainly false), and many, many other themes.
