  This book pays homage to Vibeke Roggen, Associate Professor of Latin at the University of Oslo, who has been a driving force and guiding spirit of classical culture in Norway. On the occasion of her retirement in 2022, national and international colleagues as well as former students joined forces to acknowledge her commitment to Classics by contributing to this Festschrift. It is dedicated to Vibeke Roggen in gratitude and admiration for the inexhaustible energy, enthusiasm and generosity with which she has promoted the study of Latin and classical culture over the last few decades. Divided in four main thematic sections ("Verba et voces", "Studia Neolatina", "Miscellanea litteraria et historica", and "Paedogogica"), the book contains contributions in Norwegian, Danish, English, German, Latin, and Spanish.

  Visual perception is widely taken to present properties such as redness, roundness, and so on. This in turn might be thought to give rise to accuracy conditions for experience, and so content, regardless of which metaphysical view of perception one endorses. An influential version of this argument—Susanna Siegel’s ‘Argument from Appearing’—aims to establish the existence of content as common ground between representational and relational views of perception. This goes against proponents of ‘austere’ relationalism who deny that content plays a substantive role in philosophical explanations of conscious perceptual experience. Though Siegel’s argument purports to be neutral with respect to the metaphysics of perception, it relies upon an equivocation between the presentation of property-types and property-instances. Consequently, the argument begs the question against the austere relational view, and so fails to establish the desired conclusion. So while relationalists can and should allow that experiences have accuracy conditions, it does not follow from this that they have contents of any philosophically interesting or significant kind.

  Each of our sensory modalities—vision, touch, taste, etc.—works on a slightly different timescale, with differing temporal resolutions and processing lag. This raises the question of how, or indeed whether, these sensory streams are co-ordinated or ‘bound’ into a coherent multisensory experience of the perceptual ‘now’. In this paper I evaluate one account of how temporal binding is achieved: the temporal windows hypothesis, concluding that, in its simplest form, this hypothesis is inadequate to capture a variety of multisensory phenomena. Rather, the evidence suggests the existence of a more complex temporal structure in which multiple overlapping windows support distinct functional mechanisms. To aid in the precise formulation of such views, I propose a taxonomy of temporal window types and their characteristics that in turn suggests promising avenues for future empirical and philosophical research. I conclude by examining some philosophical implications of multi-window models for the metaphysics of perception and perceptual experience more generally.

  It is generally accepted that there is a visual field, but the analogous notion of an auditory field is rejected by many philosophers on the grounds that the metaphysics or phenomenology of audition lack the necessary spatial structure. In this paper, I argue that many of the common objections to the existence of an auditory field are misguided and that, contrary to a tradition of philosophical scepticism about the spatiality of auditory experience, it is as richly spatial as visual experience — and in some ways even more so. By carefully considering the spatiality and boundedness of audition, along with how sounds or their sources are experienced as occurring within the surrounding acoustic environment, we can gain a better understanding of (i) our auditory experience of space and (ii) the conditions for the existence of spatial sensory fields in general in a way that does not privilege vision over the other senses. http://keithwilson.net/research/the-auditory-field

  This paper focuses on how Jean Pillot, author of the most popular French grammar of the sixteenth century in terms of editions, took efforts to contrast his native language with Greek. His Gallicæ linguæ institutio (1550/1561), although written in Latin, contains numerous passages where Pillot subtly confronted French with Greek, surveyed in Section 2, in order to give his audience of educated German speakers a clearer view of the idiosyncrasies of French. In Section 3, I analyze why he preferred Greek to the other languages he knew in quite a number of cases, arguing that this subtle contrastive endeavor bore an indirect pedagogical and ideological load. Section 4 discusses the terminological means Pillot used to confront Greek with French, and their origins. In Section 5, I frame Pillot’s appropriation of Greek grammar in the long history of contrastive language studies, with special reference to the pivotal role of sixteenth-century linguistic analysis.

  The essays collected in this volume explore how and by what means, from antiquity to the present day, the notion of 'the right moment' has been defined, visualized, and experienced. The authors approach the subject from a range of disciplines and often work at the intersection of several of them, including the history of art and architecture, philosophy and art theory, classics and comparative literature, the history of religion and theology, and anthropology. In addition to scholarly exposés, the book contains a number of personal musings and artistic reflections on 'the right moment' in various forms and kinds of imagination - visual, literary, and philosophical.

  This volume represents the final output of a long-standing collaboration by an international and cross-disciplinary team sponsored by the Centre for Advanced Study at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. It tells the history of human cultural production in the Eastern Mediterranean, rather than the history of specific states or religions. Simultaneously, the volume argues that the agency of local communities is a key to understanding the history of long-term change and cultural production in the Levant. It narrates the story of the crystallization of a type of sub imperial power, illustrated by the canonical discourses associated with Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

  In Poetics 13, Aristotle claims that the protagonist in the most beautiful tragedies comes to ruin through some kind of ‘failure’—in Greek, ἁμαρτία. There has been notorious disagreement among scholars about the moral responsibility involved in ἁμαρτία. This article defends the old reading of ἁμαρτία as a character flaw, but with an important modification: rather than explaining the hero's weakness as general weakness of will (ἀκρασία), it argues that the tragic hero is blinded by temper (θυμός) or by a pursuit for fine, good and desirable things—that is, by what may be labelled ‘qualified’ weakness of will. The upshot is that ἁμαρτία ends up as being less blameworthy than ‘proper’ ἀκρασία, but still explains why morally outstanding people are unsuitable for the most beautiful tragedies.

  The dual role of olfaction in both smelling and tasting, i.e. flavour perception, makes it an important test case for philosophical theories of sensory individuation. Indeed, the psychologist Paul Rozin claimed that olfaction is a “dual sense”, leading some scientists and philosophers to propose that we have not one, but two senses of smell: orthonasal and retronasal olfaction. In this paper I consider how best to understand Rozin’s claim, and upon what grounds one might judge there to be one or two distinct olfactory modalities. I conclude that while Rozin may be right that humans have dual occurrences of an olfactory ‘sense’, the concept of a sense-modality, and hence the ‘sense’ of smell, is ambiguous between two different notions: a physiological sensory channel and an experiential modality, along the lines suggested by J. J. Gibson. Furthermore, recognising that these are complementary rather than competing conceptions of a sense-modality enables the formulation of a powerful ‘dual-concept’ framework for posing and addressing questions concerning the complex architecture of human multisensory experience.

  MER ENN EN LATINSK GRAMMATIKK Denne grammatikken er spesiell: Her får romernes språk, historie, kultur og litteratur belyse hverandre gjensidig. Dette gjøres ved at de grammatiske temaene illustreres med sitater fra latinske tekster: tolvtavleloven fra 450 f.Kr., retorikk, filosofi og private brev skrevet av Cicero, krigsberetninger av Caesar, kjærlighetsdikt av Catull og satirer av Juvenal. I tillegg får Augustus selv fortelle om hvordan han klarte å grunnlegge det romerske keiserdømmet, og det er eksempler fra senere tekster som Magna Charta og latin fra Norge. Gjennom 3500 sitater – alle oversatte og svært mange også kommenterte – kommer vi tett innpå skribentene i forskjellige livssituasjoner og møter språket som et levende kommunikasjons¬middel. Grammatikken er ment for både nybegynnere og viderekomne, og som oppslagsverk for den som leser og arbeider med latinske tekster. Den vil også være nyttig for dem som interessert i det latinske språket og kulturhistorien omkring det. Boken er et originalt bidrag, med gjennomtenkte pedagogiske forklaringer og en grammatisk terminologi som på mange områder er nyskapende. Et pedagogisk prinsipp er å sammenligne det latinske språket med norsk.

  The essays collected in this volume explore how and by what means, from antiquity to the present day, the notion of 'the right moment' has been defined, visualized, and experienced. The authors approach the subject from a range of disciplines and often work at the intersection of several of them, including the history of art and architecture, philosophy and art theory, classics and comparative literature, the history of religion and theology, and anthropology. In addition to scholarly exposés, the book contains a number of personal musings and artistic reflections on 'the right moment' in various forms and kinds of imagination - visual, literary, and philosophical.

  Tellekantsystemet har blitt et symbol på New Public Management i styringen av universitetene. Et ankepunkt er bruken av publikasjonspoeng på individnivå. Artikkelen viser tellekantenes plass i forbindelse med tilsettinger i humanistiske fag ved Universitetet i Oslo. Ved å sammenlikne sakkyndige komitévurderinger og publikasjonspoeng i historie, arkeologi og konservering spør jeg hva som ville skjedd om de sakkyndige ble erstattet med bibliometri. I enkelte tilfeller ville andre søkere fått stillingene. Om resultatet ville vært dårligere, er et annet spørsmål.

• Amadou, Christine; Lotherington, Tom & Wichne, Erlend (2021). Samtale om Albert Camus. Show summary

  «Bøker har sin tid, og om noen bok har sin tid nå, er det Pesten.» kunne Jan Kjærstad konstatere i VG i mars 2020. Camus’ store roman fra 1947 hadde plutselig fått uventet aktualitet, og toppet bestselgerlistene i mange europeiske land. Penguin i Storbritannia kunne konstatere at interessen var så stor at de slet med å holde tritt med etterspørselen. Tilfeldighetene ville det slik at det akkurat i disse tider var planlagt en nyoversettelse av romanen til norsk, og også i Norge fikk Pesten enorm oppmerksomhet, og kapret sin plass på bestselgerlista. Hva var det som gjorde at akkurat Camus’ Pesten, fremfor noen annen pestroman, ble den store coronaromanen? Og hva hadde de samtidige hendelsene å si for resepsjonen og forståelsen av teksten? Er det noen iboende i Camus største verk som gjør de til særlig levende klassikere? Eller kan det være noe med samtiden nå som resonnerer særlig godt med Camus tekster? Vi har invitert oversetter Christine Amadou og oversetter Tom Lotherington til å diskutere nettopp dette. Begge er de erfarne oversettere som har prøvd seg på oppgaven å skulle oversette den store franske forfatteren til norsk. Amadou har i tillegg til Pesten oversatt Det første menneske. Lotherington har oversatt Fallet, og i tillegg den franske tegneren Jacques Ferrandez’ tegnesereadapsjon av Den fremmede. Amadou og Lotherington møter Erlend Wichne til samtale om Camus’ forfatterskap, aktualitet og verdi. Lenke: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Pq92tp1xb1qIEVbFgRClb?si=HobTJxn-TA-UYWuv2WKFeg.

  In this talk I will be exploring the topic of heterogeneity in language development and language outcomes among individuals with autism spectrum conditions. Although variability of language ability is widely attested in this population, much of the research on language in ASC has been focused on a relatively restricted subset of the spectrum. I will discuss both methodological issues related to assessing diverse profiles of autism as well as benefits that may be drawn. I argue that variability may be an assent in better understanding underlying cognitive processes. Specifically in this talk I will explore the topic of comprehension and expression of referential expressions in autism spectrum conditions, drawing on previous work developed in my doctoral thesis and finally touch on new ideas on development of non-literal language understanding across individuals with ASC.

• Serangeli, Ambra (2020). Anti-teleologism, Theory of Matter and Medical Corpuscularism in Galen's Testimony on Atomism. Oslo 07-Media. Show summary

  My dissertation focuses on Galen’s refutation of atomism and represents an attempt to contribute to the debate on his role as a source of information on previous and contemporary philosophical and scientific thought. In particular, I will seek to demonstrate that, even if influenced by both his medical and philosophical rivalry, and his strategy of self-presentation, Galen gives a reliable account of the anti-teleologism and the theory of matter posited by the Epicureans and the physician Asclepiades of Bithynia. The atomists and Asclepiades, who developed a corpuscular system that Galen assimilates to Epicureanism and considers as the philosophical inspiration of the Methodical school of medicine, are his ideological rivals and the target of harsh criticism. The hypothesis of invisible particles without secondary qualities and void as the fundamental elements of the perceptible bodies, and the idea that features, physiology and anatomical structures of the species are not ascribed to a final cause, but only to atomic motion and entanglements, are unacceptable to Galen. Therefore, their antiteleologism, denial of qualitative change and, through Asclepiades, the application of these principles within medicine are the main reasons for Galen’s recurrent mocking and fierce attacks. Unlike his rivals, Galen is, indeed, a fervent teleologist and a continuist, who places himself within the “design argument tradition” of Hippocrates, Plato and Aristotle. Thus, Galen is a hostile source of atomism that, as a philosopher and a doctor who deals with the highly competitive medical environment of imperial Rome, has a specific agenda and a precise historiographical strategy. In my dissertation I will try to demonstrate Galen’s reliability by closely analyzing his fullest accounts of atomistic antiteleologism and elementary theory in De Usu Partium and De Elementis, and providing a comparison with Lucretius. In addition, I will also focus on Asclepiades’ notion of ὄγκοι and theory of flux, attempting to reconstruct their philosophical backgrounds. As a result, 2 I will argue that, although Asclepiades admitted the divisibility of his corpuscles, his physiological system shares, as Galen points out, its main principles with Epicureanism.

  This doctoral dissertation examines the biological thinking associated with the surrealist movement in France and Denmark of the 1930s. I focus on the work of seven thinkers and artists who deeply engaged with the discipline of biology—Roger Caillois, Pierre Mabille, René Allendy, Wilhelm Reich, Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen, Richard Mortensen, and Sonja Ferlov—in order to show how surrealism’s intellectual ambitions reached well beyond the realms of art and art history and into the history of the life sciences. Through a detailed investigation of the scientific sources of surrealism, I show how surrealism engaged with the discipline of biology in very specific ways. Each chapter is devoted to exploring theories of biological life, as formulated by the respective figures in the dissertation, that amounts to what one might call a surrealist form of biology. Furthermore, through the prism of biology, hitherto unrecognised relationships between the surrealist circles of Paris and Copenhagen comes into relief, thus enabling us to rethink the delimitation of the movement itself. The dissertation maps and interprets surrealism’s participation in a range of debates about biology and the very definition and status of life in the 1930s and it demonstrates how these debates are imbricated in prescient artistic, bio-political, and social issues of this era. I show how surrealism’s engagement with biology was concerned with negotiating the relationship between concepts of organic holism and vital excess. The key thinkers and artists of the dissertation tacked back and forth between a holistic form of biology that conceptualised the organism as an interconnected whole and formulating a notion of organic life as an excessive phenomenon that atomised the boundaries of the holistic organism. This duality provides a novel set of concepts and antinomies with which to interpret the surrealist avant-garde.

• Bekeng-Flemmen, Haakon (2020). Kulturkamp og krenkelse – striden om Guds grønne enger 1932–1934. Oslo 07-Media. Show summary

  Avhandlingen tar for seg de intellektuelle brytningene i en av de mest intense kulturelle og politiske konfliktene i 1930 -tallets Norge: striden om Guds grønne enger. Striden oppsto høsten 1932 da det ble kjent at Nationaltheatret ville sette opp Marc Connellys skuespill, der Gud står på scenen i en svart manns skikkelse. Stykket ble sagt å være blasfemisk, og en bølge av protester reiste seg. Titusener krevde strengere lovverk mot blasfemi, noe dikteren Arnulf Øverland besvarte med et foredrag som snart fikk ham stilt for retten. Utallige organisasjoner og alle de tre statsmakter ble trukket inn i striden, som også bidro til opprettelsen av Kristelig Folkeparti. Først da Stortinget våren 1934 vedtok en skjerpelse av strafelovens blasfemiparagraf fikk konflikten en slutt. Hvordan kunne et tilsynelatende harmløst skuespill utløse en slik konflikt? For å besvare spørsmålet gransker avhandlingen stridens meningsbrytninger og hvordan de grep inn i betente konflikter i norsk tankeliv. Dette gjøres gjennom kontekstualisering av et omfattende kildemateriale og identifikasjon av sentrale tankemønstre knyttet til teologi, teater, rase, rett og politikk. En sentral teologisk innvending mot stykket var dets menneskeliggjøring av guddommen. Særlig problematisk var det at Gud skulle fremstilles på teateret, som i seg selv var en omstridt kunstform. Samtidig ble debatten preget av nordmenns forestillinger om «negeren», med bakgrunn i erfaringer fra misjon og underholdningsliv. Jeg viser dessuten at saken satte langvarige spor, både på grunn av forestillingen om blasfemi som ble knesatt i den nye blasfemiparagrafen – og ved at striden endret det norske politiske landskapet. Med striden om Guds grønne enger som utgangspunkt folder avhandlingen ut noen av mellomkrigstidens sentrale ideer om tro, kunst, rase og politikk – og den viser at konflikten i 1932–1934 fortjener en plass som et viktig kapittel i mellomkrigstidens norske idéhistorie.

• Toft-Eriksen, Lars (2020). Based on a True Story: Rereading Rolf Stenersen's Image of Edvard Munch and the Myth of Genius. Oslo 07-Media. Show summary

  The mythic image of Edvard Munch figures centrally in the story of his art and life. Over the past decades art historical studies have challenged this myth through critical and contextual perspectives. However, the mythic image of the artist lingers on. Rolf Stenersen’s biography Edvard Munch: Close-Up of a Genius (1944) has arguably more than any other biography contributed to Munch’s mythic image. In this dissertation I critically explore the image of Munch as it is conveyed in Stenersen’s biography, and argue that it plays into and fosters a particular mythic image, which may be understood in light of the discourse of genius in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. More precisely, I argue that this image may be contextualized with reference to specific conceptualizations of genius, spanning from Romanticist and Modernist aesthetics and art theory to theories within the fields of physiognomy, psychopathology, sexology and psychoanalysis. In line with the discourse of genius and its various iterations within these contexts of reference, I maintain that Stenersen’s image of Munch may be read in light of an overarching notion of genius as a more or less irrational or unconscious mode of creativity. Furthermore, I argue that this mythic image is produced through a certain biographical form of mythopoeic significance. That is to say that the anecdote, understood as a rhetorical device, plays on an ambivalence within the discourse of genius, and that the anecdote through this ambivalence has a certain effect of the ‘real,’ corroborating the overall mythic image of Munch, making it seem natural and thus confirming and invigorating the reader’s stereotypical notions of the artist-genius as a cultural figure.

• Pedersen Phillips, Kim (2020). Knowing What Is Said & Other Essays on Knowledge, Understanding, and Communication. Oslo 07-Media. Show summary

  The dissertation consists of five separate papers, an introduction, and a conclusion. The first paper provides an account of how we come to know what other people say to us on particular occasions. Your friend utters the sentence ‘butterflies have taste receptors on their feet’ in your presence, and you come to know right away that she said that butterflies have taste receptors on their feet. How do you come to know this fact? It is argued that we know facts about what a speaker has said in making an utterance partly in virtue of knowing other facts, including facts about what words mean, and facts about the context of the utterance. The second paper defends an account of what it is to understand an utterance. What does it take for you to understand your friend’s utterance about butterflies? And what is the relation between utterance understanding and knowledge? It is argued that understanding cannot be understood in terms of knowledge of what is said, because such knowledge is neither necessary nor sufficient for understanding. It is suggested that understanding must be understood in terms of a notion closely related to that of knowledge, namely cognitive achievement. The third paper turns to testimonial justification. Suppose you adopt the belief that butterflies have taste receptors on their feet on the basis of your friend’s utterance. What does it take for you to be justified in this belief? It is argued that testimonial justification cannot be understood as a kind of immediate or noninferential justification, contrary to what many suppose. The fourth paper provides a positive account of testimonial justification. It defends a middle ground between reductionism and anti-reductionism: it agrees with reductionism that testimonial justification is not sui generis, but agrees with antireductionism that testimonial justification is not constituted by positive reasons. The fifth paper turns from issues concerning communication to issues concerning our capacity to understand the world more generally. What does it take to understand why something is the case, for instance why the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed? A common answer is that understanding why something is the case is a matter of knowing a fact about why it is the case. It is argued that if knowledge is stakes sensitive, this answer cannot be true, since understanding is not stakes sensitive.

• Sterri, Aksel Braanen (2020). Delicate Deals: Moral Choice on the Margins. Oslo 07-Media. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  People who experience severe economic hardships sometimes consent to deals that many would not even consider. Examples include deals involving payment for sexual services, pregnancies, and kidney donations. Moreover, they may feel forced to accept deals on terms that few would accept. The term I will use for such morally challenging transactions is delicate deals. A feature of delicate deals is that even when they are entered into without fraud and coercion, many of us nevertheless find them objectionable. Much of the literature on delicate deals has been concerned with characterizing their bad-making features. The vulnerable party is forced by economic necessities to engage in harmful deals, exploited, and involved in a practice of wrongful commodification. Although this line of research is important, it is unfortunately insufficient: it fails to inform us about what we should do, all things considered. Hence, they leave open questions, such as whether we should prohibit delicate deals or regulate them, and if so, in what ways. The dissertation consists of two parts, an introduction and five papers. In paper 1, “The Bulldozing Fallacy,” coauthored with Ole Martin Moen, we argue that we need, when justifying prohibition of delicate deals, to avoid the bulldozing fallacy. This is the fallacy of believing that when people have a very narrow range of available options, we help them by taking away their preferred option in that range. To defend prohibition on grounds of the interest of the people engaging in the deal, one must be explicit about how removing the option will make them better. We propose six strategies for how to justify a ban that avoids the bulldozing fallacy. In paper 2, “The Ethics of Emergencies,” also coauthored with Moen, we address our obligations to people in difficult circumstances. We explore whether we have special duties of assistance in emergencies and whether they generalize to other cases of need outside of emergencies. We defend a novel account of our duties in emergencies and show that it can be reconciled with many plausible moral theories. In paper 3, “Sex Selection in India,” I address the issue of sex selection in India, a harmful and controversial practice that is caused by, and reinforces, gender discrimination. The Indian government has therefore banned the practice. Through a comparison between legal sex selection and its alternatives, I argue that the ban is unjustified because it makes the situation even worse for mothers and their daughters. In papers 4 and 5, I defend a model of kidney provision where governments are the sole buyer of kidneys and kidneys are distributed according to need. In paper 4, “Why States Should Buy Kidneys,” I explore Cécile Fabre’s principled objection to organ markets: that they allow duty bearers to profit from doing their duty. This criticism, I suggest, fails to distinguish between different duty bearers. I argue that, when the collective is the duty bearer, it is not wrong to be paid to perform a service that it would be your duty to perform were it not for the collectivization of duties. In paper 5, “Reframing Kidney Rewards,” I propose a new model for how to reward kidney donors. Many objections to kidney markets are rooted in the view that body parts are not ordinary market goods, and that the giving of a body part is an extraordinary act that is not properly valued through a market transaction. I show how framing a monetary reward differently makes a difference to its moral status, and that a prize is better able to reflect the extraordinary act of giving a body part compared to alternatives such as incentives, compensation or a competitive market price. In the introduction to this dissertation, I illustrate how this model can be used in other delicate deals.
