Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science

Short description

The research school is focused on the philosophical study of norms and normativity. It isorganized together with the Philosophy Departments at Stockholm University (coordinating department) and Uppsala University (with support from the Swedish Research Council). Doctoral students in the research school will have access to a large research network, joint courses, workshops and seminars at the three collaborating departments. 

Norms are studied in several practical-philosophical fields that use different methods, for example decision theory, meta-ethics and normative ethics. By ensuring that the students become well acquainted with all approaches, the possibility of progress and innovative new ideas increases by combining the approaches.

The research school will admit three PhD students to each department respectively.
