Born 1974. I studied theology at Aarhus University from 1997 to 1998, and from 1998 to 2004 at the University of Copenhagen.

Frederik Mortensen, PhD-student
Born in 1980, I write my doctoral dissertation in philosophy of religion. Through a reconsideration of FWJ Schelling's (1775-1854) late thinking, my project proposes an understanding of human religiosity under critical  consideration of contemporary approaches such as religious naturalism. I earned my MA in theology in 2008 from the University of Copenhagen, including studies in philosophy at the University of Heidelberg and Frankfurt. I am currently doing a year of my research at the University of Chicago.
