From Philosopedia
Stefan Andersson (7 October 1953 - )
Andersson, the son of Artur and Maj Andersson, was born in Savsjo, Smaland, Sweden.
He attended junior high school Savsjo Kommunala Realskola in 1969, senior high school Njudungsgymnasiet, Vetlanda, in 1972, earned his Bachelor of Philosophy at Lund University, 1976, and completed his Master of Theology at Harvard Divinity School in 1977.
In addition, he did graduate work in philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, 1978-79. In Sweden at Jönköping University in 2007, he was awarded a Master of Education.
Andersson earned his Doctor of Philosophy at Lund University in 1994, defending his thesis In Quest of Certainty: Bertrand Russell's Search for Certainty in Religion and Mathematics up to 'The Principles of Mathematics 1903' (Coronet Books, 1994).
With Louis Greenspan, Andersson edited Russell on Religion, a Kindle Book (Taylor & Francis, 2007). George Englebretsen, in Humanist in Canada, found that "Greenspan and Andersson have done an admirable job both of selecting Russell's salient writings dealing with religion and of presenting them in an accessible and useful way."
Raised a Lutheran but now an agnostic, Andersson has been married twice and has three children.
A free citizen of the Universe, he is a member of the Bertrand Russell Society and the Vernon Palestine Study Group.
