Einar Duenger Bøhn (b. 1977) is Professor of philosophy at the University of Agder. Main research areas: metaphysics, the philosophy of technology, aesthetics, the philosophy of religion, and ethics. Bøhn has published many international articles and several books, e.g. “God and Abstract objects” (Cambridge University Press, 2019) and “Teknologiens Filosofi” (Cappelen Damm, 2022). Bohn is also an active voice on behalf of philosophy outside of academia, with many radio appearances and philosophy podcasts on his conscience. Other than that, he seems to experience some meaning from driving his motorcycle, drawing with charcoal, and hanging out with his cat and his kids.
