This was an internal Project of the research unit involving at an earlier stage 13 researchers from several Universities and scientific domains (Philosophy, Linguistics, Computer Science, Mathematics), as well as several international experts on some of the covered topics. The result of the Project is a book published in 2006 in Brazil, and containing around 500 articles on issues in Philosophical Logic, Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mind, and Metaphysics.
