FROM PERSONAL INSIGHT TO EUDYNAMIC SYSTEMS
THINKING AT SCALE
My research concerns practical thought: how thinking is formed by, and in turn forms, our relations to ourselves, the earth, our work and our society. I have summarised this structure in the formula T = PEWS + C: Thinking is situated in the relations of Person, Earth, Work and Society, and never exhausted by them, since it always carries a creative remainder, C, that opens it to the new.
The formula renews the classical division of practical philosophy into ethics, economics and politics, adding the earth, which the tradition took for granted, and continuous creation. Its normative horizon is eudynamia, a dynamic conception of flourishing as a good relation to one's possibilities and their compossibility; its central operation is deliberation.
I pursue this programme with several methods: pragmatic genealogy, which shows how the concepts we think with were formed and for what purposes (Ensemblance, Edinburgh University Press, 2020); crealectics, a method for generating and weighing possibilities (Palgrave, 2025); and philosophical dialogue, which cultivates practical thought in persons (Philosophical Health, Bloomsbury, 2024; the SMILE_PH method), Sense-Making Interviews Looking at Elements of Philosophical Health).
My current work asks how practical thought can be preserved where it is most under pressure: in healthcare, under the automation of judgment by AI, and wherever valuation replaces deliberation.
I am Associate Professor (Docent) in Bioethics at Uppsala University, Philosophical Practitioner at the Stockholm School of Economics, and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow.
