Frederik Stjernfelt

Frederik Stjernfelt is Professor in the Department of Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. His research spans semiotics, Enlightenment history, and political philosophy.

Focus areas include Charles Peirce's semiotics, the history of free speech, and intellectual networks of the Enlightenment. Recent publications examine radical figures in 18th-century Scandinavian thought and contemporary applications of semiotic theory.

Stjernfelt's work connects historical analysis with modern questions of free expression and scientific communication. He contributes to policy discussions on research strategy and university governance.
