UTOPISM. *** In the long run, nothing else is realistic. *** Welcome to the English language blog of Morten Tønnessen, Professor of philosophy at University of Stavanger's Department of Social Studies.
In January, the website ReFill at University of Stavanger published a literature recommendation article titled "Mennesket er ikke alene" (Humans are not alone), written by Alessandro Falcetta and featuring some of my texts in Norwegian on animals and environmental issues.
A few days ago, a podcast episode of ReFill, released by University of Stavanger, which features an interview with me by podcast host Alessandro Falcetta, was published online. The episode (ReFill no. 12) is titled "Hvordan kan filosofi hjelpe oss å forstå miljøkrisen?" (How can philosophy help us understand the environmental crisis?). An automatically transcribed version of the interview in PDF format is also available.
A brief article titled "Økonomi trenger filosofi" (Economics needs philosophy) by Alessandro Falcetta on Refill, a new University of Stavanger webpage focused on religion, philosophy and outlook on life, features the article "Hva Arne Næss kan lære oss om økonomifagets tverrfaglighet" (What Arne Næss can teach us about the interdisciplinary nature of economics) which I co-wrote with Jan Karlstrøm and Thomas Hylland Eriksen and which was published last year.
