My dissertation, Entangled Sense. An Inquiry into the Philosophical Significance of Meaning and Rules (Uppsala, 2000), deals with problems having to do with linguistic normativity, rule-following, meaningfulness and nonsensicality. I have discussed similar topics in a number of papers published in international journals. I have also published papers on some of the central figures in 20th century philosophy: Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Quine, Davidson, Rorty and Cavell, among others. Besides the philosophy of language, I have done research on philosophical methodology. I also write for a wider audience, in publications such as Tvärsnitt and Svenska Dagbladet. I
spent the year 2000/2001 as a post-doc fellow at the
Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago,
financed by STINT. Since then, I have led two research
projects at the Philosophy Department in Uppsala: one
financed by the Swedish Research Council ,“Quine and
Wittgenstein on the Relation between Philosophy and
Science” (2001-2004), the other by the Faculty of Arts
at Uppsala Univ. “Quine, Wittgenstein and Rorty on
Philosophical Method”(2004-2005). Selected
