    Hospitality and Identitarian Tensions
    with Andreas Gonçalves Lind, Bruno Nobre, and João Carlos Onofre Pinto
    Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4): 1195-1202. 2023.
    The imperative to practice hospitality constitutes a mark of Western civilization. Already in Homer’s Odyssey, the hero Ulysses punishes Polyphemus for not having respected the obligation of hospitality towards him and his companions. In fact, hospitality has been a constitutive element of the West, marked by linguistic, cultural, and religious differences, in a world whose borders are supposed to be well defined. In his discussion of hospitality, Derrida shows how Socrates, in Plato’s dialogue …Read more

Esta divisão é o tema central deste livro que vos apresentamos, intitulado, “Properties and Propositions: The Metaphysics o…Read more

    Causality: Contemporary Approaches
    with Bruno Nobre
    Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 77 (4): 1141-1150. 2021.
    From the dawn of philosophy, with pre-Socratic thinkers, to the present day, the concept of causality continues to captivate and divide philosophers in all areas. On the one hand, as it is a fundamental concept for understanding the World and its dynamism, the notion of causality remains attractive. On the other hand, it is a source of discord, since it can be understood and thought of in different ways, which leads to contradictory visions about reality. In face of these two stances, the contem…Read more

    Resumo O presente artigo brota da verificação de que a metafísica mantém uma relação complicada com a ciência. Para compreender a natureza deste problemática o autor percorre a história da relação entre estas duas áreas de estudo, focando-se no ponto decisivo dessa história que foi o surgimento do neopositivismo. O autor argumenta que durante o processo de reabilitação e ascensão da metafísica, logo após a queda do neopositivismo, os metafísicos em vez de procurarem diminuir o hiato com a ciênci…Read more
  • Resumo Na actual metafísica, no âmbito da Filosofia Analítica, mantém-se intenso o debate acerca do Problema da Persistência. Actualmente, o Endurantismo sendo alvo de várias críticas, é acusado de ser insustentável, pelo que prevalece a teoria Perdurantista. O autor do artigo irá percorrer o actual debate, mostrando que este decorre implicitamente numa perspectiva monista e unívoca do ser e que, sob este enquadramento, o Perdurantismo encontra-se melhor posicionado para responder à questão da P…Read more

    A Jesuit Against Galileo?: The Strange Case of Giovanni Battista Riccioli Cosmology (edited book)
    with Alfredo Dinis and Álvaro Balsas
    Axioma - Publicações da Faculdade de Filosofia. 2017.
    This study aims to contribute to the research in the history of science, specifically, in the area of the seventeenth century cosmology, which had in Riccioli, a contemporary of Galileo, an undeniable protagonist. In many histories of science, Giovanni Battista Riccioli (1598-1671) is either omitted or mentioned only briefly in relation to his main cosmological work, the Almagestum Novum (1651), which is generally taken as little more than a source of useful information. When it comes to evaluat…Read more
