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

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.
