Research

PhD-project

The overarching goal of my research will be to investigate the prospects of a theory of normativity that holds all (or almost all) our normative judgements to be false. Can we even make good sense of such a theory? If so, to what extent is the resulting view a plausible metanormative theory when viewed in relation to its main competitors?
