摘要：In the sixth chapter of The View from Nowhere, Thomas Nagel aims to identify a form of idealism,
to isolate the argument for it and to counter this argument. The position that Nagel takes to be
idealist is that what there is must be possibly conceivable by us. In this paper, I show that Nagel has
not made a convincing case against this position. I then present an alternative case. In light of this
alternative case, we have reason to reject an important example that Nagel offers of a contemporary
idealist, namely Donald Davidson.
