Stand up, people of Denmark

摘要：

Stand up, people of Denmark! This is the famous slogan through which N.F.S. Grundtvig tried to rejuvenate Denmark in the 19th Century after its lost wars with Prussia and during the societal crises which followed those defeats. The Danes did just that and nowadays their society is one of the happiest, most peaceful and environmentally friendly countries in Europe. Sometimes extremisms flares up, but this is always counterbalanced by the big centrist forces within Danish society. Being a member of a PhD committee in Denmark is a pleasure. I have done it twice. Preparation is similar to what I experienced in Norway (see Rituals and Habits, 15). However, at a defense the old Grundtvigian spirit comes to life again. ‘Attacks’ by committee members are aggressive, the candidates defend themselves with passion. This true academic debate lasts a long time: 2 hours is the minimum.
