Hugo Luzio

Research group: LanCog
I am a master’s student in philosophy at the University of Lisbon, where I have also received a bachelor’s degree in 2018, with a thesis about animalism and the bodily criterion of personal identity. I am interested in metaphysics, philosophy of logic and aesthetics. My research has been focused on the bodily criterion of personal identity and on the ontology of music. I am also a member of the Argument Clinic group, of the Nucleus for Political Studies of the University of Lisbon, and of the Portuguese Society for Analytic Philosophy. When I am not doing philosophy, I compose music and play drums in Them Flying Monkeys.
