We are coming back to you with a new information regarding William Lane Craigs visit in Denmark.
The previously “unknown atheist” is Ph.D., cand. philosophy, and cand. medicine Klemens Kappel who is a director of department of Philosophy on the University of Copenhagen.
“Klemens Kappel has a broad research profile in analytical philosophy and has contributed to research at an international level in epistemology, ethics, bioethics, meta-ethics and political philosophy. In ethics he has published work on consequentialism and egalitarianism, and issues in political philosophy. For several years his research interests have focused on epistemology, in particular externalist theories of knowledge and justification and problems in moral epistemology. He has published work on epistemological naturalism, skepticism, transcendental anti-skeptical arguments, moral intuitionism, moral coherentism and the generality problem. Klemens Kappel’s current research interests are within social epistemology broadly construed, and he is currently working on questions concerning the value of knowledge, the social function of knowledge and knowledge attribution, the semantics of knowledge ascriptions, disagreement, testimony and the political philosophy of knowledge production.”

We are not sure yet when or where exactly will the debate take place, neither what the debate will be about, however there are some hints arising from the nature of Mr. Kappels profession.

I am sorry peder, we do not have any specific information about Norway at the moment, but when I’ll come across something I’ll surely let you know.

Hi, just wanted to add, the written Title of Kappel should be either ‘Dr.’ or ‘Prof.’, rather than ‘Mr.’.
(From the language of this Article, it seems this was probably not done intentionally.
But I mention this, just as a heads up, since e. g. some people against christian Apologetics do do such a thing apparently intentionally (or even write: “Dr.”, in inverted commas sarcastically), which comes across as a personal Attack (to intend, it seems, that because of the Academic’s stance, that they do not deserve their Title), and since we do not wish to sink to such a level.)

Hello Sev
Thank you very much for your input. I will try to to keep that in mind future reference. As you guessed it correctly, I surely had no intention to dishonor Prof. Kappel
.
God Bless!
