Description
The Last Word by Thomas Nagel A sustained defense of reason against subjectivism, delivering systematic rebuttals to relativistic claims in language, logic, science, and ethics. Reason must reflect objective principles whose validity is independent of our point of view - principles that anyone with enough intelligence ought to be able to recognize as correct. The spread of relativistic thinking threatens public discourse, making it increasingly difficult and unproductive. Nagel presents a compelling case for the universality of reason, arguing that the last word in disputes about objective validity must lie in some unqualified thoughts about how things are - thoughts we cannot regard from outside as mere psychological dispositions.
