229Kjærlighetens rytme - Philosophia og pedagogiske relasjoner (The Rhythm of love - Philosophia and educational relations)Norsk Filosofisk Tidsskrift 57 (3-4): 160-168. 2022.This article presents and argues for love as part of philosophy of education, more specifically the pedagogical relationship. In light of the concept of an ethics of rhythm, inspired by Roland Barthes, it is argued that the concept of rhythms sheds critical light on the asymmetrical and oppressive potential of the pedagogical relationship, but also on the liberating one. Furthermore, this argument is put into a broader debate about the role of academia as hospitable, inviting and inclusive, whic…Read more

19An ethics of rhythm—reflections on justice and educationEthics and Education 17 (2): 149-162. 2022.ABSTRACT I here explore how an ethics of rhythm can shed light on what promotes and inhibits recognition between people across our vulnerable lives, and the need for a renewal of the philosophy of pedagogy. I argue that philosophy itself has contributed to a certain oblivion regarding how we follow and create rhythmic societies, the need for a more profound and fine-tuned listening attitude as a philosophical-ethical marker, using among others Barthes concept of rhuthmos, Kierkegaards concept of…Read more

599Kjønn og feminisme i norsk filosofi- Noen betraktningerNorsk Filosofisk Tidsskrift 50 (3): 129-146. 2015.Despite the fact that Norway is considered to be one of the most gender equal countries in the world, the proportion of women in philosophy is still low. In this article, we reflect on women's presence in Norwegian philosophy, partly based on interviews with Norwegian women philosophers from different universities.

18Filosofi og kjærlighetNorsk Filosofisk Tidsskrift 47 (1): 17-28. 2012.In this article the main focus is to analyse and present the Works of Love by Søren Kierkegaard, and through the critique of Adorno, illustrate the perspective of love that is present in Kierkegaards text, and in doing so I will try to reestablish and widen the concept of charity. I will argue that the lack of a societal surrounding Adorno is highligning, is precisely what makes Kierkegaards concept of love that robust, and it is necessary in the argumentation for establishing a concept of chari…Read more

57The Life and Learning of Arne Naess: Scepticism as a Survival StrategyInquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 54 (1): 42-51. 2011.ABSTRACT It is obvious that Arne Naess had his most important philosophical experience, and quite possibly made his most significant achievement, in confrontation with the variety of philosophical scepticism known as Pyrrhonism. Naess maintained, however, that he did not defend scepticism as a philosophical position, and he was concerned to distinguish Pyrrhonism from the inverse form of dogmatism often associated with the term ?scepticism?. Naess was primarily preoccupied with the practical imp…Read more

30Freedom and Disability Rights: Dependence, Independence, and InterdependenceMetaphilosophy 47 (3): 371-384. 2016.The increasing focus on disability rights—as found, for instance, in the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities —challenges philosophical imaginaries. This article broadens the philosophical imaginary of freedom by exploring the relation of dependence, independence, and interdependence in the lives of people with disabilities. It argues that traditional concepts of freedom are rather insensitive to difference within humanity, and that the lives of people with severe disabilit…Read more
