Objectivity
One of the hotly debated issues in science, particularly social science, is whether science can be objective. On the one side one has traditional scientists, like Ole-Jrgen Skog, who not only do science, but also reflect on methodology, and who hold that there are standards in science that distinguish good science from bad science and that any good scientist has to live up to
Referential Opacity and Modal Logic
This landmark dissertation (1961) provides a systematic introduction to systems of modal logic and stands as the first presentation of what have become central ideas in philosophy of language and metaphysics, from the 'new theory of reference' and non-linguistic necessity and essentialism to 'Kripke semantics'.

These tendencies are found even today, mostly among scientists who have not followed the developments in philosophy, but also among postmodernists and some other philosophers who seem to be unaware of what is going on in philosophy…

The impact of the New Biology on our philosophical view of the world, man and the environment
The so-called New Biology has given us revolutionary insights into the nature of life and created an upsurge of popular interest in biology. However, it has also fostered an impression of ‘genetic determinism’ which been eagerly put to use in political ideology
