This volume collects recent essays and reviews by Thomas Nagel in
three subject areas. The first section, including the title essay,
is concerned with religious belief and some of the philosophical
questions connected with it, such as the relation between religion
and evolutionary theory, the question of why there is something
rather than nothing, and the significance for human life of our
place in the cosmos. It includes a defense of the relevance of
religion to science education. The second section concerns the
interpretation of liberal political theory, especially in an
international context. A substantial essay argues that the
principles of distributive justice that apply within individual
nation-states do not apply to the world as a whole. The third
section discusses the distinctive contributions of four
philosophers to our understanding of what it is to be human--the
form of human consciousness and the source of human values.
