Short presentation

I have been Chair Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at Uppsala University since 2013. Most of my work to date is in metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of logic. My book Choosing Normative Concepts (Oxford University Press, 2017) is mostly about metaethics. A current project, Alien Structure: Language and Reality, is funded by the Swedish Research Council. My book with the same title was published by Oxford University Press in 2024.
