Among the members of the
Mind, Language and Action Group (MLAG) are teachers of Logic,
Epistemology, Philosophy of Language and Philosophy of Mind at
Faculdade de
Letras (FLUP)
and graduate students doing work in those fields (both in Portugal
and abroad).
We are currently developing work on
the Belief-desire model of action; the Nature of intention (e.g. are
intentions specific mental states?);
Cognitivism and motivation to
act; Rational-choice theory, its application in economics – a
philosophical critique; What is an irrational action?; The nature of
justification; Philosophical theories of rationality; Theories of
mind; Theories of emotion; Introspection and communication;
Self-knowledge, self-beliefs; Theoretical and practical rationality
(Kant, Wittgenstein); history and philosophy of logic

Moderna e
Contemporānea,
FCT R&D Unit 502) through which Philosophy will contribute to Porto
