The projects aims at bringing together philosophers of language and linguists, both from Brazil and Argentina, in order to understand the semantic structure behind slurs (that constitute an essential part of the so-called hate speech) and its illocutionary structure. The projects emerges from a long-term cooperation between researchers from the CLE-UNICAMP and the Argentinian Society for …
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 m…
The traditional perspective of the philosophy of mathematics, typically attributed to the thought of Gottlob Frege, characterizes mathematical objects as abstract entities. According to this perspective, known as platonic realism, since statements about mathematical entities are true, we must assume the existence of objects that are referred to by terms and expressions that operate as pro…
The main objective of this project is to investigate how the phenomenon of causal selection may influence (i) our philosophical theories about moral responsibility and (ii) our view of the relation between causation and responsibility. Causal selection is a phenomenon found in our ordinary attributions of causation. When we search for the cause of an event, we do not limit ourselves to th…
This project aims to develop a Meinongian truthmaking theory to deal withpropositions about nonexistent objects and, more specifically, fictional objects.The thesis to be defended in this research, ultimately, is that a truthmaking theoryrejecting the principles of the Quinean metaontology tends to be the most adequate to explain truths in fictional, metafictional, and parafictional conte…

Ontology is the area of philosophy concerned with the study of what there is; what constitutes reality. But what is the best method for investigating what there is? When are we allowed to say that something exists or not? These are questions that meta-ontology will try to answer. In this way, the ontology of mathematical objects will seek to study the existence of mathematical objects, wh…
The goal of this project is to study some aspects of what it is known as social ontology from the perspective of the theory of illocutionary acts, especially the one following the tradition initiated by Austin (1962) and Searle (1969). More precisely, we will start by analyzing the notion of institutional facts (as the name suggests, it grounds the legal, political, and economical institu…
This project aims to analyze the contemporary dispute between neo-quineans and neo-meinongians, so that the student can, at the end of his research, take a stand in this debate and see what is the best solution to the so-called paradox of negative existentials - which synthesizes the conflict between these two philosophical strands. At the heart of the dispute to be studied is the quinean…

Critical pragmatics (CP) is an intentionalist theory of how the content of utterances with referential terms is expressed and communicated. It encompasses a proficuous role-based conception of intention formation and recovery, which explains expressivity in a range of different speech situations and it has the potential to be applied to tackle various philosophical issues. A few examples …
This project aims to present and justify our research proposal for obtaining a Research Internship Scholarship Abroad (BEPE). We plan to conduct a six-month master's research program at the University of Arizona under the guidance of Professor Michael McKenna. Our research will focus on the philosophical problems involving the intersection between debates on moral dilemmas and the nature …
In this project I am interested in deepen the interconnections between the metaphysical notion of process and ontic structuralism - as a refined version of naturalism - focusing on the analysis of emergence (of systems and properties) and its application in grounding the ontological understanding of physical notions such as those of complex system and force field. The apparent interest of…
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. I…
