"What is it Like to Be a Bat?" is an essay by philosopher Thomas Nagel that explores the idea of consciousness and subjective experience. Nagel argues that we can never truly understand what it is like to be a bat because their experience is fundamentally different from ours. Bats navigate the world through echolocation, which is a sensory experience we cannot fully comprehend. Therefore, the experience of being a bat is beyond our human understanding.
