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. ... -
Kant on Love and Law - Including a Glance at St. Paul
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-11-08)In his letter to the Romans, as well as in his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul presents us with an insightful account of antinomianism, that is, a critique of the law. It poses a very interesting challenge to Kant’s law conception of ethics. In fact, the Paulinian caveat seems to anticipate some of the criticism that Kant’s confidence in the moral law has encountered. To this day, Friedrich ... -
Kant und das Glück
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-06-06)Wird gefragt, was für die Gestaltung des menschlichen Lebens wesentlich ist, so kommt dem Glück und dem Streben nach Glück in der Einschätzung Kants nicht der höchste Wert zu. Anders als es ein bis heute wirkmächtiges Vorurteil nahelegt, unterschätzt Kant aber auf der anderen Seite das Streben des Menschen nach Glück keineswegs. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit Kants Begriff des Glücks kann sich ... -
Kant und Paulus über Gesetz, Liebe und Gnade
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-04-07)Gesetz und Gesetzlichkeit spielen in Kants kritischer Philosophie eine hervorragende Rolle. Denn die menschliche Vernunft ist für Kant ein Vermögen der Gesetzgebung. Der Nachweis allgemein gültiger Vernunftgesetze, in denen die Menschen in all ihrer Verschiedenheit vereint sind, ist deshalb auch für Kants Ethik zentral. Er entwickelt eine Gesetzesethik. Paulus dagegen hat eine wirkmächtige Tradition ... -
Kants viljesorienterte etikk
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-12-11)Som tittelen tilsier, dreier denne avhandlingen seg om viljesbegrepet i Kants etikk, samtidig som den representerer en kritikk av den gjengse bestemmelsen av Kants etikk som handlingsorientert. Etter min mening er det mer adekvat å karakterisere Kants etikk som viljesorientert, da den i første rekke dreier seg om bestemmelsesgrunnene for handlingen, ikke selve handlingen. Kants etikk er riktignok ... -
Kunnskaps-sosiologi, relativisme og anti-realisme – ein gjennomgang av Kuhn, Wittgenstein, Winch og Bloor
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007)The problem of relativism and realism may appear in hermeneutic and mundane phenomenological projects. In this paper theories of Kuhn, Wittgenstein, Winch, and Bloor are discussed. Kuhn’s theory may be interpreted in at least two ways, one generating the problem of relativism and realism, the second avoiding the problem. Wittgenstein’s treatment of reciprocal understanding across cultural borders ... -

LGBT Rights and Refugees: A case for prioritizing LGBT status in refugee admissions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-29)This article discusses the case of refugees who are LGBT, and the possible grounds for using LGBT status as a basis for prioritizing LGBT persons in refugee admissions. I argue that those states most willing and able to protect LGBT persons against a variety of (also) non-asylum-grounding injustices have strong moral reasons to admit and prioritize refugees with LGBT status over non-LGBT refugees ... -
LGBTIQ+ prioritization in refugee admissions – The case of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-30)This article discusses some of the normative bases for the recent (2020) Norwegian policy prioritizing LGBTIQ+ refugees in refugee admissions. It argues that, when properly interpreted, this policy is compatible with the UNHCR vulnerability selection criteria but is not independently supported by it. Combined with some of the broader moral principles guiding refugee admissions – including both ... -

The chapter provides a theoretical background on the understanding of the LGBTQ+ categories, as well as the ethical questions relating to the treatment of LGBTQ+ persons in contemporary societies. Specific ... -
Liberalism and the right to strike
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-05-12)Although trade union membership in the UK went into serious decline in the decades following the Conservative election victory of 1979, recent years have seen an increase. Strikes nowadays are typically lesser in scale and duration than the big strikes of the twentieth century. The law on ballot thresholds under the Trade Union Act 2016 represents a formidable obstacle. Nevertheless, strikes remain ... -
Linguistic Conventionalism and the Truth-Contrast Thesis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-19)According to linguistic conventionalism, necessities are to be explained in terms of the conventionally adopted rules that govern the use of linguistic expressions. A number of influential arguments against this view concerns the ‘Truth-Contrast Thesis’. This is the claim that necessary truths are fundamentally different from contingent ones since they are not made true by ‘the (worldly) facts’. ... -
Mangfoldets enhet : en refleksjon over det udifferensierte som de værende tings bindeledd.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-05-14)Har du noen gang opplevd å tenke på noen, og like etterpå tilfeldigvis møtt den samme personen? Eller har du midt i en samtale oppdaget at den du snakker med står og forteller deg akkurat det du selv tenkte på for et øyeblikk siden, uten at du fortalte det på forhånd? Man kan undres over hvordan slike hendelser henger sammen. Ofte oppleves disse hendelsene som påfallende og uforklarlige, til ... -
Mellom aktivitet og passivitet: Maurice Merleau-Ponty og kjærlighet som institusjon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-12)I denne artikkelen går jeg gjennom noen sentrale aspekter av Maurice Merleau-Pontys analyse av kjærlighet både fra Phénomenologie de la perception fra 1945 og forelesningsrekken L’institution, la passivité fra 1954–1955. Jeg retter søkelyset spesielt på den senere analysen og viser hvordan Merleau-Ponty her, med analysen av kjærlighet som institusjon, tar avstand både fra tanken om kjærlighet som ... -
Mennesket og naturen : veien tilbake til meningen
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-05-29)Målet med denne oppgaven er å undersøke hva forholdet mellom mennesket og naturen er. Først og fremst i et eksistensielt perspektiv. Jeg tar utgangspunkt i Tromsøværingen og filosofen Peter Wessel Zapffe og utfordrer hans konklusjoner med støtte av den franske filosofen Michel Serres. Zapffe ønsker å finne svar på hva det vil si å være menneske. Mennesket er overutrustet i forhold til livet. ... -

Metaforer og modeller som kreativitet
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-11-15)Hvordan oppstår originale ideer - uten paradoksale eller mystiske forutsetninger? Er det mulig å forklare kreativitet uten ontologiske "støtteanordninger"? Jeg forsøker i denne oppgaven å forklare kreativitet i lys av metaforisk interaksjon; som "original bruk av gamle(kjente)ideer". Et illustrativt eksempel: Hvordan kan originale matretter oppstå? De fleste av oss tenker ikke videre over dette. ... -
Moderate inclusivism and the conversational translation proviso: Revising Habermas's ethics of citizenship
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Habermas’ ‘ethics of citizenship’ raises a number of relevant concerns about the dangers of a secularistic exclusion of religious contributions to public deliberation, on the one hand, and the dangers of religious conflict and sectarianism in politics, on the other. Agreeing largely with these concerns, the paper identities four problems with Habermas’ approach, and attempts to overcome them: (a) ... -
Moral Demands and Ethical Theory: The Case of Consequentialism
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2015-10-22)Morality is demanding; this is a platitude. It is thus no surprise when we find that moral theories too, when we look into what they require, turn out to be demanding. However, there is at least one moral theory – consequentialism – that is said to be beset by this demandingness problem. This calls for an explanation: Why only consequentialism? This then leads to related questions: What is the ... -
Morality and Prudence: A Case for Substantial Overlap and Limited Conflict
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-07)<i>INTRODUCTION</i>: It is virtually impossible to say anything substantial about how morality and prudence relate to one another unless we make assumptions about their content. In what follows, I will make use of a minimal definition, according to which prudence concerns the rational pursuit of personal interest and happiness. In this connection, I use happiness as an evaluative term, as something ...
