More From Thomas Nagel
Once We See An Aspect Of What We Or Someone Else Does As Something That Happens, We Lose Our Grip On The Idea That It Has Been Done And That We Can Judge The Doer And Not Just The Happening.

Fundamentally An Organism Has Conscious Mental States If And Only If There Is Something That It Is Like To Be That Organism--something It Is Like For The Organism.

Once We Have Taken The Backward Step To An Abstract View Of Our Whole System Of Beliefs, Evidence, And Justification, And Seen That It Works Only, Despite Its Pretensions, By Taking The World Largely For Granted, We Are Not In A Position To Contrast All These Appearances With An Alternative Reality. We Cannot Shed Our Ordinary Responses, And If We Could It Would Leave Us With No Means Of Conceiving A Reality Of Any Kind.
