Pós-doc at University of São Paulo (2024 - ), got his PhD (2023), MPhil (2016) Bachelor and Licentiate (2013) in Philosophy from the State University of Campinas. Currently works with themes related to identity, discernibility and conceivability in Metaphysics, Epistemology, Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Language, more specifically, with the Principle of Identity of Indiscernibles. During his master's degree, which had a period as a visiting researcher at the Univesity of Glasgow, he worked mainly with Quine's philosophy, more specifically with the debate about the notion of analyticity. A considerable part of his work at that level was on theories of meaning, not just on Quine. Furthermore, he has marginal interests in African Philosophy (Ubuntu), the History of Contemporary Philosophy, Political Philosophy (theories of democracy and epistocracy) and in Aesthetics (humor).

The Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles (PII) has long been a notoriously controversial topic in Metaphysics. However, in recent years, these controversies have spilled over into debates within the Philosophy of Physics, Mathematics, and Logics, directly influencing issues in these fields (e.g., determining the correct ontology of Quantum Mechanics, identifying vertices in unlabel…
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 comment…
In 1951, Quine publishes his celebrated article Two dogmas of empiricism (1961b), where he puts to test the distinction between analytic and synthetic statements, which is so important to the philosophies of Science and of language adopted by analytic philosophers and logical positivists. He argues that the notion of analyticity is unintelligible and, therefore, should be abandoned; meanw…
This research is part of a larger investigation about the different positions developed by Quine on the clarity and usefulness of analyticity in a theory of knowledge. At first, he dismissed the notion tagging it as a "metaphysical article of faith" , claiming that it was unintelligible, therefore should be abandoned. That was a very important step for the development of his holistic theo…
