Towards Accountability for Machine Learning Datasets: Practices from Software Engineering and Infrastructure (2020, background): “In the case of data labeling, this collapses the dichotomy of the the observer and the observed, making label provenance explicit in the data [136] rather than pretending to be a “view from nowhere” [65, 104] and creating the space for alternate epistemologies needed to confront the bias paradox [66”

The Role of Conscious Reasoning and Intuition in Moral Judgment (2006, background): “The intention principle, often identified as the doctrine of the double effect, has received intense scrutiny by philosophers (Foot, 1967; Nagel, 1986), but markedly less by psychologists (but see Mikhail, 2002; Royzman & Baron, 2002).”

Phenomenology and the project of naturalization (2004, background): “As Thomas Nagel acknowledges in a footnote in The View from Nowhere his own reflections on the first-person perspective (what he, somewhat paradoxically, calls the “objective self”) has a good deal in common with Husserl’s discussion of the transcendental ego ( Nagel 1986, 62 ).”
Analytical Buddhism: The Two-tiered Illusion of Self (2006, background): “In Chapter 4, I argued that elusiveness is a feature ascribed to the ordinary self; in this section it is argued that elusiveness should be specified with reference to awareness in particular.

Methodological Implications of Critical Realism for Mixed-Methods Research (2013, background): “That people always come to things and ask about them from a particular (subjective or situated) point of view, rather than from what Nagel (1986) calls the “view from nowhere,” provides the necessary restriction on the cases we need to cite in any particular explanation (p. 436).”
Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False (2012, unknown): “Beginning by challenging the coherence, and completeness, of the materialist framework (Nagel, 1974, 1986), Nagel gradually moved towards positive contemplation of metaphysical alternatives (Nagel, 2000).”
