The 1st EOSIC aims to present current topics in the fields of Social Ontology and Collective Intentionality to the Latin American philosophical community with lectures by international and national guests.
Over the last 30 years, debates related to the structure and foundation of social reality, about its nature, its objects, and properties (which make up the field of investigation of Social Ontology), as well as how minds can be jointly directed towards objects, purposes, values (themes that concern Collective Intentionality), have gained prominence on the research agenda of Analytical Philosophy. The creation of specialized academic societies such as the European Network of Social Ontology (ENSO) and the International Society of Social Ontology (ISOS) shows the significant interest devoted to these fields of research abroad.
Particularly in Brazil, however, few researchers are dedicated to these topics. The 1st EOSIC aims to help bridge this gap by providing an introductory discussion of the area in Portuguese and presenting examples of the type of research carried out in the field with renowned international researchers.
