Course content

The Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature (CSMN) is based at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas (IFIKK) at the University of Oslo. It is a Center of Excellence mainly funded by the Norwegian Research Council.
The overarching goal is to understand the normative dimensions of the human mind in terms that allow us to see them as integrated parts of the natural world.

The project is structured into three main areas of research: rational, linguistic and moral actions. The Masters courses within the CSMN framework fall into these 3 catagories.

Courses in moral agency cover topics like social and moral norms in intentional action, distributive and political justice, and moral justification. Courses will adrress issues on the interface between philosophy and social sciences.
