The task of making a fair, adequate and comprehensive review of the research activities during the last five years in the required time frame has been a demanding one. The evaluation panel expects, however, that this review will be a useful instrument for the Research Council of Norway, the Ministry of Education and Research and other relevant ministries, and the departments and research groups concerned. This report represents an agreed account of the assessments, conclusions and recommendations. Folke Tersman (Chair) Hanne Andersen Simo Knuuttila Dag Prawitz Hans-Jørgen Schanz Robin M.

Its main purpose is to provide better insight into the strengths, weaknesses and challenges of Norwegian research in philosophy and history of ideas, and to help develop good research and good research environments in Norway. The evaluation encompasses the key institutions in Norwegian philosophy and history of ideas in the period 2004 to 2008. In other words, all major research units with activity within these two fields are covered, but not all Norwegian research in the fields. The units covered are five departments/parts of departments at Norway’s four oldest universities. Key characteristics of the institutions of Norwegian philosophy and history of ideas The evaluation points to some specific features of the institutions of Norwegian philosophy and history of ideas. Due to the compulsory university introduction course in philosophy (examen philosophicum), Norway has a large total workforce of philosophers employed at its higher education institutions. The scope of ex.phil.-teaching has resulted in a large proportion of the philosophers holding teaching positions and having little time for research. Less than half of the “senior” staff at the evaluated departments hold a doctoral degree (2007 figures). There are, however, large variations between the departments as regards staff with doctoral degrees — differences resulting from variations in the organisation of their ex.phil.-teaching. There is little national collaboration and little mobility between the departments. There is a large proportion of teaching personnel, and there are some very small departments, some of which have a low proportion of female scholars and a high average age. The institutions’ basic funding accounts for most of the research activity, which means that there are few resources for research apart from the staff members’ research time. The number of scholars in the history of ideas is rather limited, and there is only one unit devoted to research in this field (a section of a multidisciplinary department at UiO). An analysis of the publications for which the departments have obtained credits (in the performance-based budgeting for Norwegian universities) indicates that the average publication per researcher is fairly stable for the period 2005 to 2008, at around one “article equivalent” per researcher per year, although there is great variation in publication activity, both between researchers and between departments. Furthermore, there is a low proportion of publications in English and

  • The Normative Views of Climate Scientists and Their Bearing on Philosophy
    Value-Free yet Policy-Relevant? The Normative Views of Climate Scientists and Their Bearing on Philosophy Torbjørn Gundersen Centre for the Study of Professions, OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University ARENA – Centre for European Studies, University of Oslo This article contributes to the philosophical debate on values in science by exploring how scientists themselves understand the proper role of moral, political, and social values in expert practice. I present findings from interviews with climate scientists who have participated as authors in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The climate scientists subscribe to the value-free ideal as a reg- ulative ideal that applies both to the provision of knowledge to policymakers and how they engage with political issues in the public sphere. Yet their views on the moral responsibility of scientists and the aim of providing policy-relevant output challenge the value-free ideal. The article suggests ways in which their views can be relevant to the philosophical discussion. Keywords: value-free ideal, expert role, IPCC, climate science-moral re- sponsibility, policy relevance, interview study This article has benefited from comments by Edmund Henden, Silje Maria Tellmann, Anders Molander, Marte Mangset, Kjartan Koch Mikalsen, Andreas Eriksen, and Nils Roll-Hansen (whose idea it also was to perform an empirical study of climate scientists). I would like to thank my colleagues at the Centre for the Study of Professions, OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University and participants at the workshop The Legitimacy of Depo- liticized Decision-Making at ARENA – Centre for European Studies, University of Oslo for helpful comments. Two anonymous reviewers for this journal provided very helpful com- ments.

  • Post-War Philosophy in Norway. Problems, Achievements and Dilemmas
    FOLIA SCANDINAVICA VOL. 5 POZNAŃ 1999 POST-WAR PHILOSOPHY IN NORWAY. PROBLEMS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND DILEMMAS E w a P io tro w sk a Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań A b stra ct. The aim of the paper is to present the main trends within philosophy in Norway. The author also discusses the most important research works carried out at university centres, the goal of which is to analyse Norwegian post-war philosophy. The predominant movement, so called ‘practical philosophy’, deals with ethical, religious, political, social and economic issues. Many Norwegian philosophers are also active as university teachers or researchers at universities in Oslo (e.g. Arne Naess, Hans Skjervheim, Trond Berg Eriksen, Torstein Tollefsen, A n fin n Stigen) and in Bergen (e.g. Gunnar Skirbekk, Nils Gilje, Vigdis Songe-M0ller, Knut Erik Tran0y). Sophie’s World (Sofies verden) by Jostein Gaarder, a Norwegian philosophy teacher, has recently become a best-selling book on the Polish publishing market. The book, written in consultation with the well-known Norwegian philosopher and historian of science Trond Berg Eriksen, was published in Norway four years earlier. It presents the main achievements of human philosophical thought, with the start­ ing point in antiquity, in the plain and beautiful form of a fictionized dialogue. The book is a typical example of the modern scientific and didactic im­ perative of those preoccupied with philosophy in Norway - difficult philo­ sophical issues should be presented in such a way that they become read­ able and comprehensible for a wide audience. What’s more, they should provide some signposts for average people who think and reflect critically upon the self and the external world.

They just came about, unpredictably, due to special circumstances or interplay with other people. That was exactly what happened in the fall of 1988, when a young Chinese philosopher suddenly turned up at our institute at the University of Bergen. He came for one year, from East China Normal University in Shanghai, to do research in philosophy.
