    What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

    "Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable." So begins Thomas Nagel's classic 1974 essay "What is it Like to be a Bat?" Nagel's essay initiated the now widespread attention to consciousness as a central problem for philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience; it also influenced the recognition of the consciousness of nonhuman creatures as an important subject of study. Nagel argued that the essential subjectivity of conscious experience—what it is like for the creature undergoing it—means that reductionist theories of mind, which attempt to analyze it in physical terms, can never succeed. It follows that the physical sciences cannot provide a complete description of reality, and that the physical conception of objective reality must be transcended if science is going to comprehend the mind. 
 
 
 
This edition reissues this classic and widely influential article on its fiftieth anniversary, along with a new preface discussing the origins and influence of the essay, as well as "Further Thoughts: The Psychophysical Nexus," a supplementary essay which describes Nagel's later thoughts about how to respond to the problem posed by "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?"

    In October 1913, 261 miners and two rescuers died when a massive explosion ripped through a mine operated by Phelps, Dodge & Company in Dawson, New Mexico. Ten years later, a second blast claimed the lives of another 120 miners. Today, Dawson is a deserted ghost town. All that remains is a sea of white iron crosses memorializing the nearly four hundred miners killed in the two explosions—a death toll unmatched by mine disasters in any other town in America. 
 
 
 
Now, to mark the centennial of the second disaster, veteran journalist Nick Pappas tells the tragic story of what was once New Mexico's largest and most modern company town and of how the strong, determined residents of the community coped with two heartbreaking catastrophes.

    Of the many profound works by James Allen, the pioneering voice of the New Thought movement, The Mastery of Destiny stands as a powerful and practical guide to the pinnacle of self-creation. While his timeless classic, As a Man Thinketh, laid the foundation by revealing the formative power of thought, this volume builds upon it, charting the path to conscious living and absolute self-command. Written as a companion piece to The Life Triumphant , it delves into the principles of self-control, willpower, and purpose, arguing that we are not mere bystanders to fate but active architects of our destiny. Allen’s philosophy, distilled from a life marked by hardship and contemplation , asserts that by mastering our inner world, we can transform our outer circumstances, turning suffering into triumph and chaos into order. 
Here, Allen moves from principle to practice, meticulously detailing how the laws of mind and character operate in everyday life. He argues with compelling conviction that destiny is not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice—the direct result of deeds and habits willingly repeated until they become the iron girders of our fate. This is the science of self-determination, a call to harness the divine forces of will and purpose to rise above circumstance and forge a life of profound accomplishment and peace. 
Positioned between the foundational insights of As a Man Thinketh and the structural wisdom of Eight Pillars of Prosperity, The Mastery of Destiny is the essential manual for the application of Allen's philosophy. It is for those who understand the power of thought and are now ready to undertake the greatest of all journeys: the mastery of oneself.
