Contexts of John Stuart Mill's liberalism - politics and the science of society in Victorian Britain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-02)
<i>Introduction</i>: This book, hereafter referred to as <i>Contexts</i>, is the fourth volume in the series <i>Politics-Debates-Concepts</i> by Nomos. The series publishes interdisciplinary studies of politics, focused on the history of political concepts, conceptual change, and the interplay between ‘political theories and political practices’. López’s work squares perfectly within this setting. ...
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 ...
Semantic Facts and a Priori Knowledge
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-18)
This paper is a response to a paper by Marcus Giaquinto in which he argues that lexical meaning is moderately indeterminate and that this poses a problem for the linguistic view of a priori knowledge. I argue that accepting the moderate indeterminacy thesis as he presents it is perfectly compatible with both the linguistic view in general and the specific suggestion that some <i>a priori</i> knowledge ...

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, ...
Nietzsche's Ethics of Power and the Ideas of Right, Justice, and Dignity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
In this article, I first show in which ways Nietzsche’s doctrine of the will to power informs his understanding of practical ideas, such as right, justice, and dignity. Subsequently, I challenge his view by contrasting it with approaches that emphasize the significance of thinking beyond power relations. Particularly, I draw on arguments brought forward by three major figures of the philosophical ...
Circularity, Naturalism, and Desire-Based Reasons
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10)
In this paper, I propose a critique of the naturalist version of the Desire-Based Reasons Model. I first set the scene by spelling out the connection between naturalism and the Model. After this, I introduce Christine Korsgaard’s circularity argument against what she calls the instrumental principle. Since Korsgaard’s targets, officially, were non-naturalist advocates of the principle, I show why ...
Arbeidsmarkedet for norske filosofer i dag
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
Denne artikkelen gir en kort gjennomgang av arbeidsmarkedet for norske filosofer og
vektlegger noen av de største problemene filosofer i dag står overfor innen akademia og
arbeidslivet for øvrig. Jeg relaterer problemene på arbeidsmarkedet (for kandidater på høyere
og lavere akademisk nivå) til svakheter innen utdanningssystemet og akademisk publisering.
Avslutningsvis tar jeg til orde for en ...
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 ...
