The aim is to produce a volume titled A Companion to Problems of Analytical Philosophy, written in Portuguese and made available for free on the internet. The online edition will be dynamic, i.e. the material can be continuously updated. The volume consists of state of the art, specialized essays on problems in core areas of present Analytic Philosophy. The emphasis is placed on areas dealing with the nature of language, mind and cognition. The project will revolve around three broad domains: Mind and Cognition (Epistemology, Philosophy of Mind, Cognitive Science, etc); Logic and Language (Philosophy of Language, Philosophical Logic, Philosophy of Mathematics, etc); and Metaphysics (Ontology, Philosophy of Science, etc).
