Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature (CSMN)

CSMN

The Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature (CSMN) is based at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas (IFIKK) at the University of Oslo. It is a Center of Excellence mainly funded by the Norwegian Research Council.

The overarching goal is to understand the normative dimensions of the human mind in terms that allow us to see them as integrated parts of the natural world.

Our core research topics lie at the interface of philosophy and the empirical sciences, such as linguistics, cognitive psychology, political science and economics.

The project is structured into three main areas of research: rational, linguistic and moral actions.
