This Seminar based on the reading of proeminent essays on Emotions, is a way to promote the community of inquiry in Instituto de Filosofia da Linguagem. Sharing reading and discussion about the texts creates a ongoing dialogue among the various researchers of the Institute, for it creates a space where the different researchers share critical tools of thinking and their different philosophical interests.
The topic of emotion was chosen to begin this ongoing dialogue as it is connected with various areas of philosophy. A different researcher is responsible for presenting and creating a discussion about a chosen text in the monthly sessions of the seminar. The text for discussion is available a week before the session takes place in the Instituto de Filosofia da Linguagem.
This seminar has been interrupted between June 2006 and September 2007, on account of other research projects.
In October 2007 the seminar restarted its monthly schedule.
