Ole Martin Moen (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈû:lə ˈmɑ̀ːtɪn ˈmù:ən]; born 28 April 1985) is a Norwegian philosopher who works primarily with applied ethics and value theory. He is Professor of Ethics at Oslo Metropolitan University and Researcher in Philosophy and Principal Investigator for the 5-year research project "What should not be bought and sold?" at the University of Oslo, funded by the Research Council of Norway.[1]

Education and career

Moen received a PhD in philosophy from the University of Oslo in 2013; his dissertation was on hedonism.[2] While conducting PhD research, Moen was visiting scholar at the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford.[3] As a master's student, he acted as visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and University of Oxford.[1]

Moen has published articles in journals such as the Journal of Medical Ethics,[4] Journal of Bentham Studies,[5] Philosophia,[6] Reason Papers and Think.[3] He has written on a number of controversial topics, including prostitution, active euthanasia, animal welfare, wild animal suffering, school, cosmetic surgery, monogamy, cryonics and transhumanism.[7][8][9] Moen's articles have been published in Forbes, The Independent, Washington Times, Aftenposten and Morgenbladet.[1] He is a in-house philosopher on the Norwegian radio show Verdibørsen and runs the podcast Moralistene with Aksel Braanen Sterri.[10]

Together with two other teachers, he established the Humanistskolen in Oslo ("Humanist School in Oslo").[11] The school was initially refused approval from the Ministry of Education, but after the Ministry of Gender Equality and Discrimination Ombud (LDO) came to the conclusion that the Ministry had refused in contravention of the law, the school nevertheless received approval.[12]

He is signed up for cryopreservation with the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.[13]

Politics

Moen was elected to the Øvre Eiker municipal council for the Progress Party in 2003 and served two years. In 2004, Moen announced his transition to the Liberal People's Party and justified it by saying that "the fight for a liberal FRP has been lost".[14] In December 2005, he announced a move from the municipality, and Snorre Rogstad (Frp) thus took over the position as municipal council representative. Moen has also been secretary of Øvre Eiker Progress Party, deputy leader of the youth organization Liberalistisk Ungdom,[15] leader of Liberalistisk Ungdoms fylkeslag in Oslo, leader of Human-Ethisk Studentlag and project employee at Civita in 2007. Moen has not had any office or association with party politics since leaving the Liberal People's Party.

He has argued that pedophilia (i.e. the sexual attraction to children that does not involve engaging in sexual relations with children) is not immoral, that engaging in sexual activities with children is not immoral either unless it will physically hurt children, and that pedophiles who do not rape children should be praised for their 'willpower'. Moen also advocated for computer-generated AI child pornography.[16]

Awards

In 2019, Moen received the Zapffe Prize of kr 100,000 from the University of Oslo, for his article "Anti-Natalism and Human Enhancement". In the article on Peter Wessel Zapffe's philosophy, he argues against Zapffe's antinatalism, instead claiming that we should focus on improving the human condition using biotechnology.[17]
