The Philosophy Department at Rutgers State University (New Jersey) has via Department Chair Barry Loewer and Associate Director of the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science (RuCCS) Professor Ernest Lepore granted me the great privilege of being invited ove r to enjoy status as a visiting scholar at the department for the whole academic year 2009 starting in January. The reason for which I apply for funding at Forskningsrådet is in order to accept this invitation and incorporate my one-year stay as visiting scholar at Rutgers into my on-going PhD-degree at the Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature (CSMN) in Oslo. In my project description I say more about the institutions and the academic environment I am invited to visit, and I say something about what I i ntend to achieve during my stay and how I can take advantage of these experiences in my own research- and PhD-project - The Primacy of Knowledge - at CSMN and the University of Oslo.
