Causation in Evidence-Based Medicine: In reply to Strand and Parkkinen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)Strand and Parkkinen criticize our dispositional account of causation in evidence-based medicine for failing to provide a proper epistemology of causal knowledge. In particular, they claim that we do not explain how causal inferences should be drawn. In response, we point out that dispositionalism does indeed have an account of the epistemology of causation, including counterfactual dependence, ... -

How to Gauge Moral Intuitions? Prospects for a New Methodology
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2014)Examining folk intuitions about philosophical questions lies at the core of experimental philosophy. This requires both a good account of what intuitions are and methods allowing to assess them. In the paper we propose to combine philosophical and psychological conceptualisations of intuitions by focusing on three of their features: immediacy, lack of inferential relations, and stability. Once this ... -

Nietzsche and Spinoza: From Ontology to Ethics
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-11-25)What do two of the most widely recognized modern philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche and Benedictus de Spinoza, have in common? One would believe that they were quite different, as Nietzsche famously wrote “God is dead”, while Spinoza claimed that God is everything. There are actually several similarities in the philosophies of the two thinkers. Nietzsche claims that Spinoza shared his own ... -
Pragmatic universalism – A basis of coexistence of multiple diversities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-03)The authors examine the paradigms hitherto employed to understand and regulate relations between minorities and majority: universalism, multiculturalism/differentialism and interculturalism. These theories are referring to an idea of original purity rooted in a classificatory logic that ultimately inhibits positive coexistence. The complexities of belonging and practices of translation underscore the ... -
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 ... -
«Denne verden er viljen til makt - og intet utenom!» : Nietzsches viljesbegrep og dets relasjon til Schopenhauers metafysikk
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-10-28)SAMMENDRAG Mitt forehavende i denne masteroppgaven er å komme til en bedre forståelse av «viljen til makt» innen Nietzsches filosofi. I 1883 lanserer han denne ideen som et alternativ til Schopenhauers begrep om viljen til liv, og via en undersøkelse av viljen til makts utviklingshistorie i relieff av Schopenhauers filosofi argumenterer jeg for at viljen til makt, i likhet med viljen til liv, er ... -
Critical Thinking in Online Educational Discussions Measured as Progress through Inquiry Phases: A Discussion of the Cognitive Presence Construct in the Community of Inquiry Framework
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)The development of critical thinking is a rationale for higher education and an important aspect of online educational discussions. A key component in most accounts of critical thinking is to evaluate the tenability of claims. The community of inquiry framework is among the most influential frameworks for research on online educational discussions. In this framework, cognitive presence accounts ... -
Rose’s Prevention Paradox
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-02-08)Geoffrey Rose's ‘prevention paradox’ occurs when a population‐based preventative health measure that brings large benefits to the community – such as compulsory seatbelts, a ‘fat tax’, or mass immunisation – offers little to each participating individual. Although the prevention paradox is not obviously a paradox in the sense in which philosophers understand the term, it does raise important normative ... -

The politics of Dissensus and Political Liberalism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-20)An emerging branch of political theory, ‘the politics of dissensus’, starts out from the premise that in order to understand the politics of constitutional democracies, one needs to focus on parliamentary politics, which compromises both institutional settings and debates. Politics takes place among adversaries, and dissensus and argumentation pro et contra is the rule. The focus on the conditions ...
