Plantinga on Nagel

A little while ago I linked to Thomas Nagel's review of Alvin Plantinga's most recent book Where the Conflict Really Lies: Science, Religion, and Naturalism. Now Plantinga has returned the favor, reviewing Nagel's latest book entitled  Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature is Almost Certainly False. Bear in mind that Nagel is an atheist.

"Agent Intellect" is a philosophical term from the De Anima tradition. In giving my blog this title I am not trying to imply anything about its (or my) intellectual credentials. I am merely signaling my interest in, and occasional blogposts on, philosophy. The views expressed here are my own and should not be imputed to any past, present, or future employer or affiliation.

Deconstructionism? Well, now let me see… You know, I don’t have any idea what that means. I know what you think it means, sonny. To me it’s just a made-up word. An ostentatious word, so young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie and have a job. Deconstructionism? It’s just a bullshit word. So you go on and write your papers, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit.
