Dag Herbjørnsrud

Dag Herbjørnsrud (born 11 January 1971) is a Norwegian historian of ideas and journalist. He has been the editor-in-chief of the Norwegian weekly left-wing news magazine Ny Tid in 2005-06 and from 2008 to 2015.[1][2]

He is the son of writer Hans Herbjørnsrud and historian Anna Tranberg. From 1991 to 1994, Dag Herbjørnsrud studied political science at the University of Oslo.[3] He graduated as cand. philol. in 2002 with an English-language thesis on the later philosophy of Robert Nozick titled Leaving Libertarianism: Social Ties in Robert Nozick's New Philosophy.[4] In the thesis, Herbjørnsrud argued that Nozick left libertarianism in his later years.[4] In a 2005 interview with the Norwegian liberal-conservative periodical Minerva, Herbjørnsrud stated that Nozick advocated the welfare state, and that Anarchy, State, and Utopia is not representative for Nozick's writings.[5]

He is a former political columnist for Al-Jazeera's English website and former journalist and commentator in the newspapers Morgenbladet (1993–1995) and Aftenposten (1995–2005).[1][6]
