Postverket. Tradisjon og reform
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 1993)Administrative reformer er vanlige fenomener. I offentlig organisasjoner foregår det en kontinuerlig reformaktivitet.

Some Problems for the Phenomenal Approach to Personal Identity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-17)I present some problems for phenomenal (i.e. consciousness-based) accounts of personal identity and egoistic concern.
