  • The Minds We Want

    A Theory of Mental Health

    by John T. Maier ...
    What is mental health? While it is an increasingly important and oft-discussed topic, the nature of mental health remains unclear. In The Minds We Want, John T. Maier argues that mental health is best defined as psychological well-being, and that the standards for psychological well-being are subjective.

  • The View From Nowhere

    by Thomas Nagel ...
    Human beings have the unique ability to view the world in a detached way: We can think about the world in terms that transcend our own experience or interest, and consider the world from a vantage point that is, in Nagel's words, "nowhere in particular". At the same time, each of us is a particular person in a particular place, each with his own "personal" view of the world, a view that we can ... Read more

  • The Last Word

    by Thomas Nagel ...
    If there is such a thing as reason, it has to be universal. Reason must reflect objective principles whose validity is independent of our point of view--principles that anyone with enough intelligence ought to be able to recognize as correct. But this generality of reason is what relativists and subjectivists deny in ever-increasing numbers. And such subjectivism is not just an inconsequential ... Read more

    Ancients and moderns alike have constructed arguments and assessed theories on the basis of common sense and intuitive judgments. Yet, despite the important role intuitions play in philosophy, there has been little reflection on fundamental questions concerning the sort of data intuitions provide, how they are supposed to lead us to the truth, and why we should treat them as important. In addition ... Read more

  • The Existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre

    by Jonathan Webber ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Philosophy
    Webber argues for a new interpretation of Sartrean existentialism. On this reading, Sartre is arguing that each person’s character consists in the projects they choose to pursue and that we are all already aware of this but prefer not to face it.
