Just as there are rational requirements on thought, there are rational requirements on action. This book defends a conception of ethics, and a related conception of human nature, according to which altruism is included among the basic rational requirements on desire and action.

In Mind and Cosmos Thomas Nagel argues that the widely accepted world view of materialist naturalism is untenable. The mind-body problem cannot be confined to the relation between animal minds and animal bodies. If materialism cannot accommodate consciousness and other mind-related aspects of reality, then we must abandon a purely materialist understanding of nature in general, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmology. Since minds are features ofbiological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete. And the cosmological history that led to the origin of life and the coming into existence of the conditions for evolution cannot be a merely materialist history. An adequateconception of nature would have to explain the appearance in the universe of materially irreducible conscious minds, as such. No such explanation is available, and the physical sciences, including molecular biology, cannot be expected to provide one. The book explores these problems through a general treatment of the obstacles to reductionism, with more specific application to the phenomena of consciousness, cognition, and value. The conclusion is that physics cannot be the theory ofeverything.

"Ce livre parle d'un seul problème : comment combiner la perspective d'une personne particulière à l'intérieur du monde avec une vue objective de ce même monde susceptible d'inclure la personne et son point de vue. C'est un problème que rencontre tout être vivant qui possède la capacité et la tendance à transcender son point de vue particulier et à concevoir le monde comme un tout. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un seul problème, il présente de nombreux aspects. La difficulté qu'il y a à réconcilier les deux points de vue survient tant dans la manière de mener sa vie que dans la pensée. C'est la question la plus fondamentale qui se pose au sujet de la moralité, de la connaissance, de la liberté, du moi et de la relation entre l'esprit et le monde physique. La réponse ou l'absence de réponse à cette question déterminera pour une grande part notre conception du monde et de nous-mêmes, ainsi que l'attitude que nous adopterons à l'égard de nos vies, de nos actions et de nos relations avec les autres. En faisant ressortir ce thème dans un certain nombre de problèmes philosophiques, j'espère proposer une manière de les regarder que d'autres que moi pourraient aussi trouver naturelle."
