Reviews

“The volume is recommended for Nagel scholars and historians of philosophy of science who would like to learn more about a prominent yet recently somewhat forgotten — or maybe better: ignored — proponent of philosophy of science and his thoughts. … It will be a suitable basis for a graduate course on Nagel and his philosophy. Equally well, individual papers from the collection will be a worthwhile addition to the reading list of topical seminars … .” (Alexander Ehmann, Journal for General Philosophy of Science, Vol. 54, 2023)
