Martin Mose Bentzen, MA, PhD



From 2006 to 2010 I was a PhD student at Roskilde University and at the ILLC at the University of Amsterdam.
I succesfully defended my thesis at Roskilde University, May 19, 2010. In the spring 2010 I was employed as an external lecturer at Roskilde University
and as a teaching assistant at The University of Copenhagen. I am now employed as a teacher of philosophy and English at Sorø Akademi (high school).

Academic Interests

My main interests are formal semantics and logic applied to the philosophy of action and the philosophy of norms. I have a secondary interest in formalizing legal concepts.
