Nota biográfica:
I have taught Ethics, Political Philosophy, History of Political and Social Ideas, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy, Philosophical Anthropology, Aesthetics and Metaphysics. My research interests include the history of Ethics, in particular the naturalist and rationalist traditions stemming from Hobbes and the naturalist and sentimentalist traditions culminating in Hume; issues in contemporary meta-ethics; the metaphysics of free will; and classical pragmatism. My PhD dissertation focused on the moral philosophy of David Hume. I have published a book on the American pragmatist Charles Sanders Peirce as a result of my research for my master’s degree. I am also a translator, and have been involved in the translation into portuguese of Edmund Burke's A Philosophical Investigation of the Origin our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful, which has been published by ed.70. I am expanding my research and teaching interests to include the history of feminism and feminist philosophy.
