I am Professor Emeritus of Practical Philosophy at Lund university. After having studied philosophy in Warsaw and then in Uppsala, I got my Ph.D in 1979. Then I stayed on in Uppsala until 1995, as associate professor in practical philosophy. I was the acting chair of practical philosophy 1987-89, head of department 1988-93, and one of the directors of the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS) 1994-95.
In 1995 I was appointed Professor of Practical Philosophy in Lund. Since 2014 I am retired, but still work part-time as Senior Professor. I have had a good fortune to successfully supervise more than a dozen doctoral students and to conduct research together with many of my philosopher friends, in Sweden and abroad. My current research focuses on value theory, moral philosophy and decision theory.
