(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-29)Testimonial literature from the Gulag Archipelago, published between 1946 and 1953, highlights the interactive dimension in the encounter between witness and recipient. Whereas the Nazi camps were well-documented after the war, the network of camps, prisons, settlements, and exile sites constituting the Gulag system, containing large contingents of political prisoners and ethnic minorities, were ... -
How Do Cellists and Sounds 'Become' With Each Other? Exploring the Entanglements of Artistic Research and Agential Realism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024)Music and bodies ‘become’ through co-creational processes of sound and different human and non-human bodies within social contexts. We conducted in-depth micro-phenomenological interviews with six cellists to understand better the relationship between musicians – traditionally understood as those who produce sounds – and the sounds themselves. This novel method allowed us to zoom in on the moment ... -
Exploring consent as an aesthetic experience through applied theatre with people living with dementia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-31)The process of giving or obtaining consent is typically seen as a series of language-based actions, either documented on a written form or communicated verbally. However, both methods can present challenges when engaging with individuals living with dementia. This paper explores how to understand consent as an aesthetic experience through applied theatre practices. We draw on data from 12 applied ... -

Sexisme og rasisme i Kants etikk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-12)Den «offisielle» etikken til Kant, slik den presenteres i de etiske hovedverkene fra den kritiske og sen-kritiske perioden, er universalistisk og upartisk. Universalistisk vil si at alle mennesker er inkluderte i det moralske fellesskapet, mens upartisk betyr at etikken gjelder uavhengig av blant annet kjønnsmessige og etniske skillelinjer. I flere førkritiske verk, samt i Antropologiforelesningene, ... -
Seksuelle rettigheter og ideen om nøytralitet: Fra Habermas til Nussbaum og tilbake igjen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-12)Med utgangspunkt i en kritisk sammenligning av Jürgen Habermas og Martha Nussbaum drøfter jeg hvordan den politiske filosofen bør begrunne seksuelle rettigheter og hvorvidt en slik begrunnelse bør tilstrebe nøytralitet i forhold til religiøse, kulturelle eller andre kontroversielle doktriner og livsformer. På den ene siden hevder jeg at Habermas’ prosedurale rettighetsbegrunnelse lider av et moralsk ... -

(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-10-24)This work explores the philosophical and legal justifications for punishment, with a special focus on the Italian criminal system and the contradiction between its constitutional emphasis on rehabilitation and the harsh realities of its prisons. It first compares retributivist and consequentialist theories, and argues that rehabilitation offers a stronger ethical foundation for punishment than ... -

Kant on Peace and Conflict
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)On the one hand, Immanuel Kant is famous for his idea of “perpetual peace”; on the other hand, he argues that human beings need antagonism and conflict in order to develop and flourish. By emphasising both the requirement of peace and the productivity of conflict, Kant pays tribute to the inherent ambivalence of human nature that his well-known phrase of man’s “unsociable sociability” (ungesellige ... -

Filosofi for Fiskere; Kunnskap om mikroaggresjoner som en av løsningene på fiskerinæringas manglende kjønnsbalanse.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-31)Kan en av løsningene på fiskerinæringens kvinnemangel være bevisstgjøring og kompetanseheving rundt begreper som mikroaggresjon og mikroulikhet? Denne oppgaven vil utforske hvordan kunnskap om teoretiske ideer kan hjelpe fiskere av begge kjønn å gjenkjenne uheldige vaner og hvordan de kan endres. Siden disse fenomenene også er knyttet til institusjoners strukturelle nivå vil oppgaven også diskutere ... -
The Agent-Based Model of Pluralistic Ignorance. Sincerity, Conformity and Truth.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-15)This thesis investigates the phenomenon of pluralistic ignorance, clears up some conceptual confusion regarding its definition, and explores ethical problems connected to it. A primary contribution lies in the development of an agent-based computer simulation of pluralistic ignorance. Observations of this simulation lead to tentative recommendations about how to deal with pluralistic ignorance in ... -
Anti-immigrant backlash: the Democratic Dilemma for immigration policy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-01)Anti-immigrant backlash has emerged in recent years as a considerable threat to democracy. In many countries illiberal and anti-democratic political forces driven in part by anti-immigrant sentiment have damaged or threaten to damage the proper functioning of democratic institutions. Should policymakers try to avert this threat by implementing more restrictive immigration policy? If they do ... -
Consequentialism and Its Demands: The Role of Institutions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)Consequentialism is often criticized as being overly demanding, and this overdemandingness is seen as sufficient to reject it as a moral theory. This paper takes the plausibility and coherence of this objection—the Demandingness Objection—as a given. Our question, therefore, is how to respond to the Objection. We put forward a response relying on the framework of institutional consequentialism we ... -
Should We Increase Young People’s Voting Power?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-28)This paper argues that democratic collectives have reason to increase the voting power of their younger members. It first presents an intuitive case for weighted voting in general, before drawing support from a prominent principle of democratic inclusion – the all affected principle. On a plausible understanding of that principle, a decision may affect people to varying degrees, and this ... -
Substituted Decision-making
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)A core principle of medical ethics states that patients should be allowed to determine whether they wish to accept or refuse treatment, if they possess the relevant decision making capacity at the time treatment decisions need to be made. In cases where patients lack capacity to make decisions regarding their own treatment, substitute decision makers must make such decisions for them. This chapter ... -
Kann und soll der Wille zur Macht überwunden werden? Ein Versuch des späten Nietzsche
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-01)Das Prinzip des Willens zur Macht spielt von Beginn an, das heißt spätestens seit dem kurzen Stück über Homer’s Wettkampf, bis in Nietzsches letzte philosophische Texte hinein eine hervorgehobene Rolle. Doch es fällt auf, dass Nietzsche am Ende neben und gegenläufig zu diesem Prinzip ein Verständnis und eine Haltung dem Leben gegenüber zu konturieren sucht, die über den Willen zur Macht hinausweisen. ...
