Education

Bjørdal did his undergraduate studies in philosophy, logic, mathematics and economics at the University of Bergen, Norway, and was a DAAD-Stipendiat at the Johan Wolfgang von Goethe Universität in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1985/86. He studied philosophy at University of California, Santa Barbara, United States, from 1988 to 1992, and got his PhD from there in 1993.[2][3]

From 1992 to 1994 he worked at the University of Trondheim (now Norwegian University of Science and Technology), and from 1994 to 1996 at the University of Tromsø. He worked at the University of Oslo from 1996 to 2013, and is now a professor emeritus there.

Some philosophical publication areas

edit

Bjørdal has published on alternative set theories, semantics for modal logics and on modal ontological arguments in the Gödelian tradition.

Mathematical genealogy, and mathematical reviews

edit

Although a philosopher by training, his work earned him an entry in the Mathematics Genealogy Project.[4] Eight of his publications are reported upon in Mathematical Reviews;[5] he has written thirteen article appraisals there, as per the references.
