kapsyl3's review against another edition
It simply describes ways that you can think about life and I myself am quite familiar with that. A waste of time if you are to.

demagoras's review against another edition
4.0
Covers the basics of philosophy and proposes the main questions of life one inevitably encounters in life. Nagel provides possible answers but leaves it to the reader to think about it for themselves as philosophy intended. It hits the mark in regards to questions in philosophy, but misses in regards to philosophy itself.

It was okay - nothing to write home about, and sometimes I found Nagel's assumptions and slightly patronising tone a little irritating, but nevertheless very short, readable and accessible introduction to some key philosophical concepts, fields, and questions.

What does it all mean by Thomas Nagel is a short introduction to 9 philosophical problems.
Easily understood for people who have never taken a philosophy class. Also short but elaborative enough to understand the idea of a particular problem.
It starts with the question 'Do I really exist and can I be sure about it?' and ends with 'Does my existence mean something?'.
I remember in High School, my textbook was much more complicated. I wish we had this one instead.
