Thomas Nagel Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: b. July 4, 1937
Birthday: July 4
If we tried to rely entirely on reason, and pressed it hard, our lives and beliefs would collapse - a form of madness that may actually occur if the inertial force of taking the world and life for granted is somehow lost. If we lose our grip on that, reason will not give it back to us.
