23The Art of Politics as Weaving in Plato’s StatesmanPolis 37 (3): 485-500. 2020.This article asserts the significance of the portrayal of the political art of statesmanship as weaving, and aims to show how this image emphasizes two main aspects of the political art of statesmanship. Firstly, the image implies a three-dimensionality, both through the process of weaving and through the thickness of the protective fabric this produces, that in turn indicates the vital aspect of corporeality in politics. Secondly, weaving as a paradigmatic example of the art of statesmanship pr…Read more

15Conceptions of Temporality: Reconsidering Time in an Age of Impending EmergencyTheoria 86 (6): 769-782. 2020.The predominant contemporary concept of time is arguably measurable time, promoted as being in accordance with science. This is commonly understood as the time of physics, as, for instance, E. A.

31The Philosophical Significance of the Figure of DiotimaNorsk Filosofisk Tidsskrift 48 (1): 100-109. 2013.This article emphasizes Diotima as a figurative element within the Symposium in order to highlight the philosophical significance of this figure. My argument is that such an accentuation of the poetical opens up the possibility of bringing forth and emphasizing the philosophical impact that she carries. Furthermore, I attempt to show how accentuating the philosophical significance of Diotima in this way, opens up a specific interpretative path in relation to the dialogue. Contrary to most interp…Read more
