The Portuguese Journal of Philosophy has published a special volume entitled ‘Investigations in Contemporary Analytic Metaphysics: Mind, Identity and Society’.
The volume invites the reader to explore central themes such as the relationship between language and truth, the enigmas of consciousness and personal identity, and the foundations of social reality.
With articles by leading international philosophers, this issue addresses crucial debates and brings new perspectives on the issues that shape contemporary metaphysical thought, while establishing an enriching dialogue between metaphysics and other sciences. This volume presents an in-depth reflection on the evolution of analytic metaphysics, a contemporary field that redefines traditional ontological questions about existence, reality and the essence of the Universe, through logical rigour and linguistic precision.
