- Ilocutionary acts in mathematics, AP.R
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to bring together a linguist, a philosopher of language, and three philosophers of mathematics (two of them mathematicians themselves) for a study of the language of mathematics. More precisely, we will apply the contemporary theory of ilocutionary acts (taking as basis Austin (1962), Searle (1969, 1979) and Searle and Vanderveken (1985) to the language of...
- Towards a metaphysics of processes, BP.PD
Abstract
This project is an enquiry in the metaphysics of processes and its semantics. For processes we means here, in the most generic way, dynamic entities such as actions or oriented relations, as opposite to static ones, e.g., substances, things or objects. How can we understand, justify and account for the asymmetry ofbecoming and the consequent emergence of contingently stable objects (pro...
- Dispositional libertarianism: outline of a dispositional account of laws of nature and free will, BP.PD
Abstract
This project deals with the problem of free will and determinism. The aim is to look at the conceptual relationship between dispositional accounts of laws of nature and the thesis that there is free will (and related concepts, such as moral responsibility and the ability to do otherwise in the same circumstances). Although the Humean account of laws has been recently criticised, compati...
- The principle of identity of indiscernibles, BP.DR
Abstract
This research aims to develop a detailed study on the Principle of Identity of Indiscernibles (PII) and present an innovativedefense for this principle showing that the counter-examples presented by Black and his successors are not coherent with our intuitions regarding the most fundamental notions of our spacial representation faculty. At the first stage, it is intended to make a comme...
- On the Fregean distinction between concept and object and its semantic repercussion, BP.MS
Abstract
In Begriffsschrift (1879), Frege, by replacing the grammatical notions of subject and predicate with the logical notions of argument and function, takes a fundamental step towards the correct regimentation of sentences so as to make it explicit the relevant aspects on determining the validity of arguments in which they appear. Such distinction, in the aforementioned work, refers solely ...
- Essentialism, modality and the direct reference theory, BP.MS
Abstract
This project's goal is divided in two parts. The first part is to search for what Kripke's thesis about the notion of essence and essential properties are. The second one is to analyze Salmon's and Fine's arguments against Kripke's theory. The main issue is: Does Kripke (in his theory) derive the essentialism from his semantical theory alone? It looks like this is a possible interpretat...
- Indexicality in cases of the contingent a priori, BP.MS
Abstract
Saul Kripke, in his discussion about metaphysical and epistemical notions, which contingency and apriority belong, drew attention to the fact that there are cases in which we can access contingent a priori truths, and necessary a posteriori truths. This idea became infamous in the tradition since it showed that the notions of necessity and apriority are not extensional as it was always ...

- Against sentential and propositional priority in metasemantics, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
In virtue of what do linguistic expressions have meaning? It seems a truism that expressions have meaning because they are connected with human actions: we endow them with significance in virtue of using them to do various sorts of things. Sentence Priority is the thesis that it is in virtue of the things we do with sentences that linguistic expressions become infused with significance....
- The role of reference into metaphysical matters, BE.EP.MS
Abstract
In this project I deepen the analysis of the boundaries between Kripke's semantical theory and his essential theses - the topic of my FAPESP Masters' Project. In order to do so, I keep in mind the question: what (if any) notion of essence can be derived from Kripke's direct reference theory alone? There is an interpretation that stands by the ideia that the linguistic features highlight...
- Scepticism and self knowledge, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Let us say that scepticism about a topic is the view that I do not know anything about that topic. In philosophy, discussion of scepticism has tended to focus on scepticism regarding my knowledge of the external world, that is, the world of physical objects. There is very little discussion of scepticism regarding my knowledge of my internal world, that is, the world of my own mental sta...
- Radical enactive cognition: how to account for the phenomenal aspects of consciousness, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
The main aim of the project is to evaluate how enactivist accounts might lead to a better understanding of the problem of qualia, that means, how to relate the conscious aspects of experience to the physical events that underlie them (widely supposed to be located in the brain). Up until now, by means of available accounts, there is no prospect of having a solution or even a better comp...
