31. Att Vandra i Intets Närhet : Wittgenstein, Heidegger och Vägen Bortom Filosofins Slut
Magister-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/FilosofiSammanfattning : What does it mean to occupy the other side of what is - to “be” the nothing that lies beyond being? Or, in other words: Where yonder the End of Philosophy? Thus reads the first and final line of inquiry that we, the philosophers of this age, are impelled to pursue.

33. Filebos : En nyckel till Platons tankar omDet goda livet, belyst genom grottliknelsen?
Kandidat-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för kultur och lärandeSammanfattning : The purpose of this essay is to read Philebus based on three central themes – The Soul dialectic, the esoteric elements and some ethical problems, as well as to seek a comprehensive interpretation, rather than investigating, analyzing and interpreting individual concepts. Some questions that the essay aims to follow up are: 1) how can the dialogue on desire and rational knowledge highlighting Plato's ideas about the good life? 2) What are Plato’s real messages in the exposition of the good life? 3) Why are ethical questions related to esoteric elements of Plato's dialogues, and in general? The method is a reading between the lines; a hermeneutic interpretation process. LÄS MER
