  15. The Night

  16. The Day

  19. One day all of us shall die... All other days we shall not Jan Stenmark

  20. But that is not the question. I want to know what it is like for a bat to be a bat. Yet if I try to imagine this, I am restricted to the resources of my own mind, and those resources are inadequate to the task. I cannot perform it either by imagining additions to my present experience, or by imagining segments gradually subtracted from it, or by imagining some combination of additions, subtractions, and modifications. What is it like to be a bat?  Thomas Nagel  [From The Philosophical Review LXXXIII, 4 (October 1974): 435-50.]
