Reality Objectivity Admitting

More From Thomas Nagel

The problem is one of opposition between subjective and objective points of view. there is a tendency to seek an objective account of everything before admitting its reality. but often what appears to a more subjective point of view cannot be accounted for in this way. so either the objective conception of the world is incomplete, or the subjective involves illusions that should be rejected.

There are two cardinal human sins out of which all others derive, deviate, and dissipate: impatience and lassitude (or perhaps nonchalance). on account of impatience they are driven out of paradise; on account of lassitude or nonchalance they do not return. perhaps, however, only one main sense of sin is given: impatience. on account of impatience they are driven out, on account of impatience they do not turn back.
