Uppsala school

The Uppsala school of philosophy was founded by Swedish philosopher Axel Hägerström in the early 20th century. This school of thought is characterized by its emphasis on phenomenological and conceptual analysis, while actively rejecting metaphysical assumptions and subjectivism. Hägerström, who lectured and later became a professor at Uppsala University, initially explored idealism and Kantianism before focusing on the theory of reality. He critically examined legal, religious, and moral ideologies, contributing significant works on the truth of moral ideas and Roman legal concepts. Uppsala University itself, founded in 1477, is Sweden's oldest institution of higher learning and has been a center for philosophical studies.123
