I am senior professor of practical philosophy at Lund University. After defending my doctoral dissertation in Uppsala in 1979, I remained there as associate professor in practical philosophy. 1994-95 I was one of the directors for the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Studies (SCAS). In 1995 I was appointed to the chair of practical philosophy in Lund. I am honorary professor at the Australian National University in Canberra and at the University of York. I am one of the editors of Theoria and a former editor of Economics and Philosophy and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.
Currently my main research is focused on value theory (formal axiology), moral philosophy (consequentialism, population ethics) and decision theory (dynamic decision making).
