Dödens idéhistoria
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I Dödens idéhistoria undersöker nio skribenter den västerländska idévärldens dödsföreställningar från antiken till våra dagar. De visar hur döden har hanterats, förnekats och konfronterats genom historien och hur 1900-talet förändrade människors sätt att förhålla sig till döden på ett grundläggande plan. Här skildras historiska företeelser som förberedelser för döden, begravningsritualer och spiritistiska uppfattningar liksom hur man har sett på självmord och dödande av andra människor och djur.Författarna lyfter fram banden till religion, vetenskap, politik, moral och estetik. Mångfalden av infallsvinklar och de långa tidsperspektiven tydliggör hur föreställningar om döden är knutna till hur världsbilden förändras, till idéströmningar och till levnadsvillkor – samt hur förväntningarna på livet efter detta kan forma våra sätt att leva.

Virtue Ethics and Education from Late Antiquity to the Eighteenth Century
- 2018
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book argues that pre-modern societies were characterized by the quest for 'virtue '. The concept of virtue, complicated and much fought-over, permeated society, encouraging wisdom, courage, and justice, while simultaneously legitimizing social hierarchies based on sex and nationality. By examining pedagogical texts, rituals, performances, and images, this book illuminates the evolution of virtue through time, helping readers understand the guiding principles of historical action.

Ödets teater : Ödesföreställningar i Sverige vid 1700-talets början
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this dissertation is to study the function of the conceptions of Fate in political contexts as well as in views on society, in early 18th century Sweden. The investigation is centered on three main concepts, namely Providence (lat. providentia), Fate (lat. fatum) and Fortune (lat. fortuna).Four specific questions are treated: Were these conceptions of Fate used as a ‘scapegoat’ or an ‘alibi’ for God, as has been suggested by recent research? How was the catastrophe of the Great Northern War (1700–1721) dealt with by aid of these conceptions? What capacity to shape their own destiny were people thought to have? Which interpretations regarding the conceptions of Fate were regarded as incorrect, and why?The dissertation shows how conceptions of fate were well established and filled a number of important functions in society, such as comfort, social discipline, and preservation of one's personal as well as national honor. Christian and classical traditions both played important parts in shaping these concepts. In particular, the philosophy of stoicism and the early Christian philosopher Boethius were central influences.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the problem of innate, natural talent vs acquired skill, knowledge, and virtue in dissertations from Uppsala University around 1680. These texts have never before been studied. It discusses questions such as: how did Swedish academics of the period conceive the relationship between ingenium (innate potential) and (acquired) virtue or knowledge? Which teaching methods did they advocate? How do the texts relate to developments in seventeenth century society? The study uses a combination of contextual analysis and a 'history of concepts' approach to answer these questions. The analysis reveals that the Swedish dissertations respond to contemporary debates (involving well-known authorities such as Vives, Huarte, Erasmus, and Comenius) and that they were affected by the immediate context: the growth of the early modern state and the social mobility which accompanied that growth. Education is described in Renaissance humanist terms, with a clear affinity to moral philosophical concepts such as virtue and habituation. The learning process described is analogous to the acquisition of moral virtue and education itself is to a large extent legitimated with reference to moral socialization. The educational ideas put forward balance discipline and playfulness, and represent a relatively democratic view of the distribution of human capabilities, showing a great trust in the potential of education. However, there is also a distinct stress on medical explanations of differences in individual talent.
