Wonderful world festival: Contributions during 2 events, on future humanity and free will in animals

"Wonderful world - den nordiske festivalen for filosofi og vitenskap" (Wonderful world - the Nordic festival for philosophy and science) has been held, for the first time, at and around Tou in Stavanger over the 4 last days (June 1st to 4th). I have been part of the editorial board (redaksjonsråd) of the festival, as the only one representing the University of Stavanger there. 

I contributed to two events over the last few days:

* On Thursday June 1st I took part in panel discussion following Anders Sandberg´s introduction to the topic "Fremtidsmennesket?" (future man?). The panel also featured Leonora Onarheim Bergsjø and Einar Duenger Bøhn. Alexandra Esdaile chaired. Some 80 people attended.

* On Saturday June 3rd I took part in a panel discussion on the topic "Har dyr fri vilje? Og derfor rettigheter?" (Do animals have free will? And therefore rights?), and also introduced the topic. The panel also featured Norun Haugen and Lars Risan (chair). Some 40 people attended.

Text on the free will of animals published in "Wonderful world" festival newspaper

A text by me titled "Har dyr fri vilje?" (Do animals have free will?) has been published in the festival newspaper of Wonderful world - Den nordiske festivalen for filosofi & vitenskap (half page, on p. 21), which is to be held in Stavanger June 1-4th. The text plays up to an event that will take place on June 3rd as part of the festival.

To discuss free will in animals at "Wonderful world" festival

I have been scheduled to introduce and take part in the panel discussion "Har dyr fri vilje - med hvilke rettigheter?", along with Norun Haugen and Martin Lee Mueller, on June 3rd, as part of the philosophy and science festival "Wonderful world", which is held in Stavanger, Norway June 1st to 4th.
