Thomas Nagel on Subjectivity - Dictionary of Arguments
Frank I 132f Subjectivity/Nagel(1): the fact that it is somehow avoids the attribution of a separate aspect such as quality. >Properties, >Qualities, >Qualia, >Attribution, >Aspects. NagelVsReductionism: the way something is cannot be reduced. 1. Thomas Nagel (1974): What Is It Like to Be a Bat?, in: The Philosophical Review 83 (1974), 435-450 - - - Nagel III 116 ff Subjective/Objective/Gradual/Nagel: so the distinction is relative! (Polarity, continuum, respects: space, time, opportunities, scales). - E.g. a universal human perspective is more objective than that of an indidvidual, but less objective than a physical one. >Perspective/Nagel. Subjectivity: not necessarily something private. >Intersubjectivity. Objectivity: you cannot approach it by expansion of the imagination. III 120 Problem: for physical objectivity, the subject depends on those of its own components that it deems most suitable. >Objectivity/Nagel. III 28ff Subjectivity/Completeness/Objectivity/Reality/Nagel: since scrambled eggs taste like something for a cockroach and we will never know how (because we cannot imagine), we must say: either a) that the subjective qualities are not part of reality (absurd) or b) that not everything that is real is part of the objective world. Reality/Nagel: thesis: reality is not only the objective reality. >Reality, >Reality/Nagel. III 30 The world is neither my world nor ours. (This does not even apply to the mental world)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
