Subject matter

Eric Weil's Logic of Philosophy, a work that aims to understand the very process of philosophising in the plurality of its main discourse possibilities, will be taken as a theoretical framework for reflection on doctoral students' projects. At the same time, a discussion on research main issues and the access to research lines and projects developed at the Instituto de Filosofia da Nova (IFILNOVA) will be promoted, fostering an articulation of the individual research activity of students with that of researchers integrated in the Research Unit.
