Krister Bykvist

I am Professor in Practical Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy, Stockholm University and a research leader at the Institute for Futures Studies. I was a Tutorial Fellow at Jesus College, Oxford, and a CUF Lecturer in Philosophy at Oxford University (2001-2013). Before that, I was a Temporary Lecturer at the Department of Philosophy, Cambridge University. I have been a visiting researcher at the Department of Philosophy, Canada, and at SCAS, Uppsala.

My research concerns questions about our responsibility for future generations, the foundations of consequentialism, evaluative uncertainty (’What should we do when we are not certain about our values?’), and the relationship between preferences, value, and welfare.
