Hans Gunnar Slokvik Lian

I am currently writing a doctoral thesis in the philosophy of psychiatry, with special emphasis on understanding the relationship between the natural and the normative aspects of mental illness. I also have broader interests in philosophy and ethics, including notably the philosophy of mind as well as the philosophy of biology and psychology.
