  • Ernestogreg Dialogue
    Dear Ernesto Here are some thoughts about my increasing unease regarding ‘identity politics’ and the way it is entering public discussions. I am wondering what your responses would be….. I agree there is systemic privilege of particular groups over others and that this can be addressed at the political and social level. We can develop a society that is more open and egalitarian. But how do we do that? In America ‘identity politics’ is consuming the political narrative. Interactions are analysed in terms of who is privileged and who is oppressed. The ‘privileged’ person (based upon someone else’s analysis of their privilege) is almost always assumed to be wrong and their point of view (of whatever issue they are trying to present) invalid. The person from the ‘oppressed category’ of society is automatically right and to be listened to seriously. This form of ‘liberation’ is aggressive, bordering on scapegoating and it is beginning to resemble a witch hunt where only one point of view is tolerated. Any diversity of thought is attacked and silenced, but not just the point of view but the person expressing it. The viewpoint is wrong but so is the person. They are not ‘woke’, not aware, in the grip of their implicit and unconscious privilege. But they are not pitied, they are vilified. Why doesn’t everyone have the “privilege” to insist upon a determination to be heard exactly rather than stereotyped or caricatured. This form of ‘politics', I would say, is an overcorrection and open to abusive manipulation. It seems fuelled by the immediacy and superficiality of social media formats.

Rather than a mere demonstration of how theology can be used in the service of critical theory, its original contribution is in the demonstration of theological self- reflective criticality that this engagement brings about.

  • 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.

  • On the Genealogy of Morality. the Birth of Pessimism in Zapffe’S on the Tragic
    On the Genealogy of Morality... 75 ON THE GENEALOGY OF MORALITY. THE BIRTH OF PESSIMISM IN ZAPFFE’S ON THE TRAGIC SILVIYA SERAFIMOVA Institute for the Study of Societies and Knowledge, BAS [email protected] Abstract This article examines the genealogy of morality, as represented by the Norwegian philosopher and writer Peter Wessel Zapffe, as well as the way it affected the justification of his pessimism, which made him one of the most influential existentialists of the 20th century. Analyzing the complex relationships between so-called biological, social and (autotelic) metaphysical morality, which are explored against the background of four interest fronts (biological, social, autotelic and metaphysical fronts), I will clarify why Zapffe’s pessimism is irreducible to the one displayed by Schopenhauer since Zapffe provides a critical reception of Schopenhauer’s theory of tragic. Key words: Peter Wessel Zapffe, morality, existentialism, pessimism, On the Tragic Regardless of the fact that the conceptions of the Norwegian mountaineer, lawyer, writer and philosopher Peter Wessel Zapffe are not as well-known as the theories of Arne Naess, they had a significant influence on the development of Norwegian existentialism. In this context, we should specify why one should talk about Zapffe’s pessimism rather than Zapffe’s nihilism regardless of Nietzsche’s influence on his views of cultural degrowth, as well as of the possibility to draw some parallels with Nietzsche’s ‘melancholic metaphysics’ [1], as Haave suggests (Haave, 1999, pp. 236-237). Zapffe himself describes Nietzsche’s theory of tragic arguing that his “aesthetic-tragic desire” (“aestetisk-tragiske lyst”) is imprecisely interpreted (Zapffe, 1941, p.

  • 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.
