The All Affected Principle, and the Weighting of Votes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-18)
In this article we defend the view that, on the All Affected Principle of voting rights, the weight of a person’s vote on a decision should be determined by and only by the degree to which that decision affects her interests, independently of her voting weights on other decisions. Further, we consider two recent alternative proposals for how the All Affected Principle should weight votes, and give ...
Democracy without Enlightenment: A Jury Theorem for Evaluative Voting
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-08)
Say a jury is going to decide who wins a competition. First, each member evaluates all the competitors by grading them; then, for each competitor, a collective grade is derived from all the judgments of all the members; finally, the jury chooses as the winner the competitor with the highest collective grade. This is <i>collective grading</i>. The grades that are used might typically be numerical ...
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 ...

On Being Good Gay: 'Covering' and the social structure of being LGBT+
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-03)
This essay discusses Cyril Ghosh’s analysis of the notion of ‘gay covering’ as an act of downplaying one’s gayness in the face of public expectations, and its countermove of ‘reversing cover’. I acknowledge, along with Ghosh, that both the demands to ‘cover’ and ‘reverse cover’ are problematic from the perspective of LGBT+ authenticity. I aim to show, however, that such acts of covering, and reversing ...
Adam Smith om markedet og om selvet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-19)
Artikkelen fokuserer på hvilken rolle egeninteresse spiller i The Wealth of Nations av Adam Smith. Grunnlaget for diskusjonen vil være et bestemt syn på den vitenskapelige idealiseringen. I henhold til dette synet hevder Smith at aktørene på markedet er motivert av egeninteresse på tross av at han selv vet at dette ikke nødvendigvis er tilfellet. Selv om denne påstanden kan begrunnes pragmatisk, det ...
Fra hverdagspraksis til strukturell urettferdighet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-29)
Metoobevegelsen har ført til et økt fokus på kulturelle og strukturelle forhold som bidrar til å opprettholde og usynliggjøre seksuell trakassering og diskriminering i arbeidslivet og andre sektorer i samfunnslivet. Artikkelen er en diskusjon av ulike former for urettferdighet som bidrar til å skape en slik kultur, mer presist, <i>epistemisk urettferdighet</i> og <i>implisitt bias</i>. Disse formene ...
Indigenous citizenship, shared fate, and non-ideal circumstances
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-27)
This paper discusses the notion of ‘citizenship as shared fate’ as a potentially inclusive and real-world responsive way of understanding Indigenous citizenship in a non-ideal world. The paper draws on Melissa Williams’ work on ‘citizenship as shared fate,’ and assesses some of the benefits and drawbacks of using this notion to understand citizenship in Indigenous and modern state contexts. In ...
Introduction: Symposium on Acceptable and Unacceptable Criteria for Prioritizing Among Refugees in a Nonideal World
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)
All persons have a right to seek and find asylum. Arguably, the international community, or the
states that comprise it, have a duty to provide such asylum. In the present circumstances, such rights
of refugees, or the duties of the receiving states, are not always fulfilled. Not everyone is able to
seek, let alone find, asylum, and many refugees, all deserving of asylum, are left unprotected, ...
Sofie av Hannover og Sinn-Kropp-Problemet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-18)
I sin korrespondanse med Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz stiller den tysk-engelske filosofen Sofie, kurfyrstinne av Hannover, spørsmål ved noen av de mest sentrale elementene i Leibniz sin filosofi. Dette gjelder monadebegrepet og teorien om preetablert harmoni generelt, samt hans løsning på sinn-kropp-problemet spesielt. Ifølge Leibniz er sinn og kropp to atskilte og uavhengige monader som virker ...
