Omodernt : Människor och tankar i förmodern tid
- 2009. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kan vi idag ha något att lära av de klassiska, medeltida och tidigmoderna kulturerna? Många skulle svara ja på den frågan, men det finns också de som skulle beskriva det förmoderna som irrationellt, traditionsbundet, kollektivistiskt och framför allt otidsenligt. Att behålla kontakten med det förmoderna behöver inte betyda att man bekräftar ett "arv" från det förflutna eller ägnar sig åt återbruk av äldre tiders idéer. Bättre är att omvandla, utveckla eller avveckla tidigare tankar eller kritik kring sociala och estetiska mönster. I antologin Omodernt - Människor och tankar i förmodern tid medverkar elva forskare som representerar en rad humanistiska discipliner. Deras texter berättar på mångfacetterade sätt om idéer och föreställningar, språk och texter från antiken till 1600-talet som är relevanta än idag. De argumenterar för vikten av kunskap om de perioder som ligger före vår moderna tid och ger konkreta exempel på forskning i den andan. Det viktiga är att uppmuntra kommunikation över seklen, viljan att vidga sina egna associationer kring mänskligt handlande, att fördjupa sina insikter om hur människor i historien försökt att hantera sin existentiella och samhälleliga situation. Genom sådana perspektivbyten kan vi i bästa fall få klargörande idéer även om vår egen tid.

À l'origine du non-cognitivisme moderne : Axel Hägerström
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Analisi e Diritto. - Barcelona : Editorial MARCIAL PONS. - 1126-5779. ; 1, s. 159-176
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article on Axel Hägerström’s theory is presented in four sections. First, focus is on his meta-ethics, a perhaps lesser explored, but no less important aspect, which earned him the title of “father of modern non-cognivism”. His inaugural lecture at the Uppsala University, On the Truth of Moral Propositions from 1911 will be examined. Some very hot debates in the thirties and forties originated from this lecture that gave Hägerström his notorious nickname “axiological nihilist”. In section two, I will explain why his position cannot be properly understood as nihilism. This enables us to avoid a common misinterpretation and to illustrate in a more appropriate way Hägerström’s view of Hume’s law. By pointing to the specific features of Hägerström’s theory, the aim in section three is to determine what arguments of his can be considered the first form of modern non-cognitivism, as distinct from both classical moral relativism and Hobbes’ conventionalism. In section four, light is shed on the argumentative strategies used by Hägerström in defending the four meta-ethical theses that make up his “axiological nihilism”. This exposition enables further critical assessment on where to locate Hägerström in the contemporary debate on entanglement.

A Real Mind : The Life and Work of Axel Hägerström
- 2009
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This comprehensive presentation of Axel Hägerström (1868-1939) fills a void in nearly a century of literature, providing both the legal and political scholar and the non-expert reader with a proper introduction to the father of Scandinavian realism. Based on his complete work, including unpublished material and personal correspondence selected exclusively from the Uppsala archives, A Real Mind follows the chronological evolution of Hägerström’s intellectual enterprise and offers a full account of his thought. The book summarizes Hägerström’s main arguments while enabling further critical assessment, and tries to answer such questions as: If norms are neither true nor false, how can they be adequately understood on the basis of Hägerström’s theory of knowledge? Did the founder of the Uppsala school uphold emotivism in moral philosophy? What consequences does such a standpoint have in practical philosophy? Is he really the inspiration behind Scandinavian state absolutism? A Real Mind places the complex web of issues addressed by Hägerström within the broader context of 20th century philosophy, stretching from epistemology to ethics. His philosophy of law is examined in the core chapters of the book, with emphasis on the will-theory and the relation between law and power. The narrative is peppered with vignettes from Hägerström’s life, giving an insightful and highly readable portrayal of a thinker who put his imprint on legal theory. The appendix provides a selected bibliography and a brief synopsis of the major events in his life, both private and intellectual. "The work offers an excellent reconstruction of Hägerström’s work and life, and presents his personal and intellectual evolution balancing perfectly the chronological and the systematic dimensions."Liborio L. Hierro, Professor of Jurisprudence, Faculty of Law, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain "The book is excellently-sourced, always well-argued, and makes a case for a revival of interest in Hägerström. I believe this to be important. Hägerström is relevant, insightful and interesting."Michael Freeman, LLM, Barrister, Professor of English Law, Faculty of Laws, University College London, United Kingdom

Anatomia del cittadino : Tre modi di intendere la cittadinanza e alcuni problemi indesiderati
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Analisi & Diritto. - Barcelona : Editorial MARCIAL PONS. - 1126-5779. ; 1, s. 73-97
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay aims to distinguish analytically the meanings of “citizenship” in the contemporary debate. According to the semantic area of reference, citizenship stands for a political status referring to the individual’s position within the polity; a legal status referring to the overall position of a subject characterized by a determinate sphere of capacities; a social status indicating the ascribed or achieved position of a person within the social stratification in the group. After distinguishing the three semantic areas and specifying the methodology used, focus switches to the structure, genesis and internal composition of the semantic areas. These are subsequently summed up in a scheme that accounts for the basic problem that a given semantic area attempts to respond to. The purpose is to explain, on the basis of practical examples, why the distinction is important and why there is so much confusion in the current debate. In the last section, I suggest another distinction, inspired by Aristotle’s third book of Politics according to which we should distinguish between what the citizen is and who a citizen is. The stake of the issue is to inquire on the plausibility of assuming that a person has to enjoy a determinate attribute or capacity in order to have the right or the legal obligation implied by the status of citizenship.

Reflection on reflection in action : A case study of growers conception of irrigation strategies in pot plant production
- 2009

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A case study of growers conception of irrigation strategies indicates that pot plant growers in Scandinavia base their management approaches on experientially based art. The study also indicates that there is a gap between experientially based art and available greenhouse technology. In order to standardize production and produce quality, both the grower's experience and available technology should be taken into account. In order to achieve this, the present study proposes to arrange reflection on reflection in action with a group of growers by means of the dialogue seminar method. The concept of reflection on reflection in action is novel to horticultural practice. Therefore, we suggest future inter- and multidisciplinary research within this domain.

Training in Analogical Thinking : The Dialogue Seminar Method in Basic Education, Further Education and Graduate Studies
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Dialogue, Skill and Tacit Knowledge. - Chichester, England : John Wiley & Sons. - 9780470019214 ; , s. 320-333
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The dialogue seminar method was developed to facilitate experience transfer in Combitech Systems, a specialised and knowledge-intensive Swedish enterprise. As a whole the dialogue seminar method, which includes reading, writing and advanced forms of dialogue, may be regarded as a framework for the process of reflection. Each part of the method is based on analogical thinking. Analogical thinking involves reflection on the similarities and differences between various objects. It is a dominant activity in judgement and action – whether the judgement or action be expressed in academic research, in industrial development projects or in traditional “practical ”occupations. Further, analogical thinking is important in all problem solving, in the arts and in those stages of research work that include inventiveness and imagination. For several years the dialogue seminar method has been applied in graduate education at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and may soon become an essential part of a range of educational programmes in the network of our partners. The dialogue seminar method has already proved to be a powerful tool in the further education of music teachers at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. We aim to explore the potential of the dialogue seminar method in giving systematic support to analogical thinking. Research on skills and technology has shown that the arts may be seen as a source of powerful, paradigmatic examples of practical knowledge. For that reason, work continues, together with the Collegium Musicum department of the Royal Collegeof Music in Stockholm
