About

Ole Martin Moen is a Norwegian philosopher whose research spans ethics, applied philosophy, and the philosophy of religion, with a particular focus on the moral and legal complexities surrounding emerging technologies. His most-cited work, "Pedophilia and Computer-Generated Child Pornography" (2018, 18 citations), exemplifies his willingness to tackle deeply controversial and underexplored ethical questions. In this paper, Moen argues that computer-generated child pornography may be morally preferable to real abuse, sparking significant debate and demonstrating his capacity to challenge conventional moral intuitions with rigorous philosophical analysis. Beyond this, Moen has contributed to discussions on the ethics of artificial intelligence, the nature of well-being, and the rationality of religious belief. His work is characterized by a clear, argument-driven style that seeks to clarify murky moral terrain. While his citation count is modest, his influence is notable for its depth and originality, particularly in applied ethics circles. Moen’s research invites readers to reconsider assumptions and engage with uncomfortable but vital moral questions, making him a distinctive voice in contemporary philosophy.
