• The Claims of Freedom: Habermas' Deliberative Multiculturalism and the Right to Free Speech 

      Jakobsen, Jonas (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-04-21)
      The thesis analyzes and discusses Jürgen Habermas’ political philosophy, focusing on his theories of multiculturalism and deliberative democracy. This implies an assesment of strengths and weaknesses in Habermas' theory, and an attempt to overcome the weaknesses through some revisions and reinterpretations. More specifically, I apply Habermas' framework to a particular question to which he himself ...
    • In Defense of Moderate Inclusivism: Revisiting Rawls and Habermas on Religion in the Public Sphere 

      Jakobsen, Jonas; Fjørtoft, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-17)
      The paper discusses Rawls’ and Habermas’ theories of deliberative democracy, focusing on the question of religious reasons in political discourse. Whereas Rawls as well as Habermas defend a fully inclusivist position on the use of religious reasons in the ‘background culture’ (Rawls) or ‘informal public sphere’ (Habermas), we defend a moderately inclusivist position. Moderate inclusivism welcomes ...
    • Moderate inclusivism and the conversational translation proviso: Revising Habermas's ethics of citizenship 

      Jakobsen, Jonas (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) ...
    • Parasite communities of two three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) populations : effects of a local-scale host introduction? 

      Jakobsen, Jonas (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-11)
      The introduction of new hosts into new habitats can bring along hitchhiking parasites, i.e. parasites being introduced with the host. This in particular can be an important dispersal mechanism for autogenic parasites that are otherwise restricted by the natural movement of their fish hosts. In this study, the effect of a local host introduction on the parasite communities of three-spined sticklebacks ...
    • Parasite communities of two three-spined stickleback populations in subarctic Norway—effects of a small spatial-scale host introduction 

      Kuhn, Jesper Andreas; Kristoffersen, Roar; Knudsen, Rune; Jakobsen, Jonas; Marcogliese, D. J.; Locke, S. A.; Primicerio, Raul; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-30)
      We compared metazoan parasite communities of an introduced three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) population with the nearby source population in northern Norway to study differences and clarify if factors controlling parasite dispersal act on a small spatialscale. The two component communities were highly similar. All parasite taxa found in the source population also occurred in the ...
    • Populismens retorikk: trussel eller ressurs for deliberativt demokrati? 

      Jakobsen, Jonas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Å deliberere (eng: to deliberate) vil si å drøfte noe, for eksempel sannheten av en påstand eller riktigheten av en handling, ved å vurdere grunner for og imot. At en demokratiteori er «deliberativ», betyr som minimum at den tildeler offentlig politisk diskusjon en eller flere sentrale funksjoner i et velfungerende demokrati. Til forskjell fra «aggregative» modeller som fokuserer på stemmegiving ...
