Trond Gansmo Jakobsen

Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Philosophy of Science at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. He works at the intersection of philosophy of science, philosophy of biology and ecophilosophy, and is developing a functional realism: biological entities must be understood in terms of what they do in living systems, not what they are made of. On this basis he argues for the intrinsic value of nature and for transformative learning.
