Instance Specification Must Explain Reason (Nagel)
"What this means is that if we hope to include the human mind in the natural order, we have to explain not only consciousness as it enters into perception, emotion, desire, and aversion but also the conscious control of belief and conduct in response to the awareness of reasons - the avoidance of inconsistency, the subsumption of particular cases under general principles, the conformation or disconformation of general principles by particular observations, and so forth. ... Rational creatures can step back ... and try to make up their own minds."
