O Thomas Nagel foi citado aqui na lista recentemente, e é autor de
diversos "manuais iniciatórios à filosofia".
Vale a pena ressaltar que ele recebeu o prêmio Rolf Schock deste ano
para a área de *Lógica e Filosofia*:

Thomas Nagel (NYU)
"for his systematic investigation of the tension between subjective
and objective perspectives on reality and of how this tension gives
rise to fundamental philosophical problems"
