Bio noteIn 2005, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the Faculty for Social and Human Sciences at the New University of Lisbon. The next year I enrolled in the Master’s course of Aesthetics in the same faculty. After completing the first year of the Masters degree, I was awarded a doctoral grant from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. In 2013, I delivered and successfully defended my doctoral thesis, titled "O autoconhecimento da vontade: um estudo sobre o conceito de subjectividade no sistema filosófico de Schopenhauer" ("The Self-Knowledge of the Will: A Study on the Concept of Subjectivity in Schopenhauer’s Philosophical System”). In 2014, I was awarded yet another grant for the development of a post-doctoral project revolving around Merleau-Ponty’s reformulation and critique of Husserl’s phenomenological project.
Academic expertise and Research InterestsMy main area of research has been the so-called “transcendental tradition” in philosophy (broadly construed to include Kantian, post-Kantian and phenomenological philosophy). In particular, my work has hitherto been focused on “transcendental” accounts of “subjectivity” and the possibility of reconciling them with naturalistic accounts. That was already the main concern of my doctoral thesis on Schopenhauer and remains the main philosophical orientation of my post-doctoral research. The latter revolves around Merleau-Ponty’s reformulation of Husserl’s transcendental notion of subjectivity and its placement in a naturalistic and historical-cultural setting. I am the author of various articles on the notion of self, subjectivity and related topics in the philosophies of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Merleau-Ponty. For an overview of these as well as my other writings such as talks in conferences and seminars, working papers, etc., see my page.
