My research interests include metaphysics and epistemology, Kant, Husserl, general philosophy of science, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of biology, and philosophy of perception.

I am the author of Kant and the Power of Perception (Cambridge University Press, 2025).

I was Group Leader at the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, 2015-16, for the project “Disclosing the Fabric of Reality – The Possibility of Metaphysics in the Age of Science”. CAS is “Norway’s premier institute of excellence in interdisciplinary fundamental research.”

As part of the project, I edited two volumes: Metametaphysics and the Sciences: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives (Kjosavik and Serck-Hanssen, Routledge, 2020) and Husserl’s Phenomenology of Intersubjectivity: Historical Interpretations and Contemporary Applications (Kjosavik, Beyer and Fricke, Routledge, 2019).

I am also co-editor of Critical Views of Logic (with Hartimo and Linnebo, Routledge, 2024):

I recently published the textbook Virkelighet og forståelse ("Reality and understanding") (Universitetsforlaget, 2026), to be used for an introductory course in philosophy:
