Prune or cut down: Salience and Sugden's The Economics of Rights, Co-operation and Welfare
with David Rojo Arjona,
International Review of Economics, Springer,
Vol. 58, Nr. 1, p. 53-78, 2011.
In this paper we argue against Bruno Verbeek's claim that Sugden's reliance on salience in his Economics of Rights Co-operation and Welfare (1986) implies either circularity or empirical non-validity.
Reasoning about coordination in the problem of conceptualization
in LogKCA-10: Proceedings of the Second ILCLI International Workshop on Logic and Philosophy Knowledge, Communication and Action. Universidad del Pais Vasco, p. 227-254, 2010.
In this paper I argue against the claim that theories of learning in games can explain how social conventions emergence. The rejection comes by means of the problem of conceptualization to which a solution is also sketched based on Lewisian common knowledge.
Why Mixed Nash Equilibria may not be Conventions
Danish Yearbook of Philosophy, vol. 42, 2008, p. 41-68.
In this paper I address and reject the claim made by distinguished Prof. Ken Binmore that mixed Nash equilibria may underpin social conventions.

Towards a Theory of Convention
Phinews: The newsletter for Philosophical logic and its applications, Vol. 9, April 2006, p.30-62, published by Springer
This paper outlines how a Lewisian theory of convention may be supplemented with evolutionary game theory as well as how this gives rise to a series of reflection concerning the dynamics of norms and convention.
Negligent Rape and Reasonable beliefs
In ShippingNews, March 2008, edited by Andur, Freese & Rønn, The Danish Research Training Programme in Philosophy, The History of Ideas and The History of Science, 4-14.
In this short somewhat popular paper I argue against the recieved view that the notion of negligent rape can not be based on any objective momentum in a situation. My basic argument is that in so far as voluntary consent is taken as the fundamental idea defining acceptable behaviour, certain beliefs can be deemed strictly unreasonable to hold in certain situations and if acted on conferring liability on the agent.

Interview with Patrick Blackburn
with Vincent F. Hendricks
Phinews: The newsletter for Philosophical logic and its applications, Vol. 8, October 2005, p.4-15, published by Springer
In 2005 Patrick Blackburn, who was then Directeur de Recherche for INRIA Lorraine (France's national organization for research in computer science), published together with Johan Bos (Università di Roma "La Sapienza") the book Representation and Inference for Natural Language: A First Course in Computational Semantics (2005). In this view he discusses, with starting point in the books particular focus on formalizations of inference in natural language semantics and the use of these formalizations, the history of logic programming, its role and future. Today Patrick Blackburn is Prof. at Roskilde University where this interview was made.
