Thomas Nagel is University Professor Emeritus in the Department of Philosophy and the School of Law at NYU. His extensive writings deal with ethics, political theory, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and the meaning of life. Among his books are The View from Nowhere and Mind and Cosmos.
It is deep, reflective, and deals with worrying questions such as
our understanding of the past, and the sense in which there is
moral progress....In spite of its short length, this book traverses
an enormous amount of difficult ground.

Nagel's latest work, Moral Feelings, Moral Reality and Moral
Progress, exhibits the various and impressive intellectual virtues
that we have come to expect from him...Nagel's account of moral
truth and progress is bold and fascinating.

That this short book raises questions of such depth reflects the
eminence of its author and the depth and range of his contributions
to moral philosophy which have, indeed, shaped our discipline. His
characteristic insight, fair mindedness, and clarity are all on
display here in a book that is essential reading for all
ethicists.
