1. According to Thomas Nagel, a purely objective conception of reality will be incomplete.
What aspect of reality will such a conception leave out, on his view?
Solution
There is a connection between objectivity and reality—only the supposition that we and our
appearances are parts of a larger reality makes it reasonable to seek understanding by stepping
back from the appearances in this way— still not all reality is better understood the more
objectively it is viewed. Appearance and perspective are essential parts of what there is, and in
some respects they are best understood from a less detached standpoint. Realism underlies the
claims of objectivity and detachment, but it supports them only up to a point.
Though I shall for convenience often speak of two standpoints, the subjective and the objective,
and though the various places in which this opposition is found have much in common, the
distinction between more subjective and more objective views is really a matter of degree, and it
covers a wide spectrum. A view or form of thought is more objective than another if it relies less
on the specifics of the individual’s makeup and position in the world, or on the character of the
particular type of creature he is. The wider the range of subjective types to which a form of
understanding is accessible—the less it depends on specific subjective capacities—the more
objective it is. A standpoint that is objective by comparison with the personal view of one
individual may be subjective by comparison with a theoretical standpoint still farther out. The
standpoint of morality is more objective than that of private life, but less objective than the
standpoint of physics. We may think of reality as a set of concentric spheres, progressively
revealed as we detach gradually from the contingencies of the self. This will become clearer
when we discuss the interpretation of objectivity in relation to specific areas of life and
understanding

This will become clearer when we discuss the interpretation of objectivity in relation to specific areas of life and understanding
