36. Brain, consciousness and disorders of consciousness at the intersection of neuroscience and philosophy
Sammanfattning : The present dissertation starts from the general claim that neuroscience is not neutral, with regard to theoretical questions like the nature of consciousness, but it needs to be complemented with dedicated conceptual analysis.

37. Gud och vardagsspråket : En religionsfilosofisk förutsättningsanalys
Sammanfattning : The main purpose of this dissertation is to answer the question of how one can understand the fact that we mean very different things when we say that God exists and when we say that chairs, mountains and trees exist, and that it is still a matter of existence.
