	Ernest Nagel Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Ernest Nagel was born in Czechoslovakia on Nov. 16, 1901.
		Cohen and Nagel claimed to have found "a place for the realistic formalism of Aristotle, the scientific pragmatism of [Charles S.] Peirce, the pedagogical soundness of [John] Dewey, and the mathematical rigor of [Bertrand] Russell." They interpreted empirical science experimentally, stressing the role of hypotheses in conducting research.
		Nagel expounded his naturalism in 1954, in his presidential address before the annual meeting of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association.

		Nagel feels the pain of Frederic telling how "lonely and hollow" he felt in 1917 when he couldn't see her, realizing that in 1928, Frederic's "feelings of loneliness and hollowness at the loss of Catherine would be inexorable and pervasive" (165-166).
		Overall, then, Nagel sees Frederic's grief and sense of loss as overriding factors in the telling: "He would, of course, subordinate any deficiencies in her nature to concentrate on what is of moment to him now, the quality of his loss, the death of a love he has not replaced" (172).
		Nagel has hope that Frederic is telling his story as a prelude for "movement into the world once again" and "to move beyond his loss" (172).

		...Nagel himself argues that it would be impractical to expect historians to satisfy the rigorous standards of natural scientific explanations, and that we must resign ourselves to the continued use of probabilistic and genetic patterns...
		...Nagel finds unity in the methods of the sciences and multiplicity in their subject matter, and the result of this contrast is that the relation between method and subject matter-which one would naturally assume to be an intimate one-becomes tenuous and strained...
		...Nagel has devoted his career to demonstrating that in the sciences unsolved problems are evidence of vitality rather than impotence, and that the methods for solving these problems are perfectly continuous with the methods that expose them...

		Nagel also says that the verifiability theory of meaning makes atomic theory meaningless, and so is unacceptable if only for this reason.
		Thus Nagel intends to look at atheism from the first standpoint which looks at theism as a doctrine which is either true or false and not meaningless.
		Nagel does not deny that the feeling exists as a genuine feeling, anymore than one would deny that the hallucination exists as a hallucination.

		Where the first edition fell down, however, was in the guts of the proof itself; the brevity that served so well in defining the problem made their rendering of Gödel's solution so dense as to be nearly indigestible.
		This reissuance of Nagel and Newman's classic has been vastly improved by the deft editing of Douglas Hofstadter, a protégé of Nagel's and himself a popularizer of Gödel's work.
		Ernest Nagel and James Newman provide a readable and accessible explanation to both scholars and non-specialists of the main ideas and broad implications of Gödel's proof.

		Nagel to the contrary, I believe that this is a respectable position provided that logical implication or entailment is not identified with the 'subject-matter neutral' implication which, until recently, has been the primary object of attention by professional logicians.
		Nagel points out correctly -- though I rephrase what he says in terms of the above distinction -- that from the fact that one state of affairs, that-p, entails another state of affairs, that-q, it does not follow that if the thought that-p occurs to a person, the thought that-q will occur to him.

	Notes on Readings for Introduction to Knowledge and Reality (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Nagel is well known among philosophers for defending a traditional view of science as the best way to gain knowledge of the world.
		Nagel gives the same sort of reply to the argument that Philo did in Hume's dialogs, and he also points out what Hume could not, that we have Darwin's theory of evolution that explains the remarkable complexity and adaptiveness of biological organisms, without having to suppose that any supernatural being was responsible.
		Nagel does say that atheists do often think there are moral rules, rather than no moral rules, and they tend to be utilitarian, thinking we should maximize the total amount of utility, or more simply, happiness, in the world, while at the same time preserving individual freedom.

		I was more than happy to read Nagel's Work which is very approachable and exemplifies the important points that the average person might breeze through in Goedel's work.
		This being said the work of Nagel should be considered an introduction to Goedel's work and both have their place as excellent works.
		I would recommend that everyone who is interested in the philosophical and mathematical implications of the incompleteness theorem read this work and keep it on hand as they attempt Goedel.

		An early attempt to explain Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem to a broader audience, this little 1958 book by Nagel and Newman is still one of the nicest presentations.
		Anyone who has studied mathematical logic will probably be able to read it in a sitting, but it should be accessible, with some work, to those with only school mathematics.
