welcome to Teresa's website
I was educated at the University of Lisbon, the University of St. Andrews and the University of Stirling. I specialize in philosophy of language and philosophical logic. I have published on the ambiguity of negation, bivalence and paradoxes, on singular reference and object-dependent thoughts, and on relativism and the difference between content and force/mode. I have been working further on various forms of relativism and the troubles disagreement poses for it.
I am a researcher at the Philosophy Centre of the University of Lisbon, with the LanCog research group. I am also co-editor of Disputatio, a member of the steering committee of the Portuguese Society for Analytic Philosophy, and the PI of the research project Contextualism, Relativism and Practical Disagreements and Conflict, which is part of the collaborative research project Communication in Context, under the Eurocores Scheme of the European Science Foundation.
On this site you can find my CV, a list of my publications (some for download), information on the research projects I'm involved in, and teaching materials for my courses. In the events section you find news and some discussion about recent or upcoming events.

CFP: Special Issue of Erkenntnis on “Disagreements”
People agree and disagree about a lot of things: what happens around them, what to do, about matters of taste, and, more generally, about world views, values, policies, theories, philosophies, etc. Some disagreements appear to be “faultless” — no party in such a dispute needs to be mistaken. Other disagreements, seem to be “merely verbal”, and perhaps no real disagreements at all. In both cases, philosophers have argued that this diagnosis should lead to deflationism about the subject-matter of the initial (apparent) disagreement. If disagreements about a certain subject matter are faultless, then there are no objective truths about that subject matter; if disagreements about a certain subject matter are merely verbal, then they concern a pseudo-problem. Still some other disagreements seem to involve less what people explicitly believe or think about something than their dispositions to act towards a given goal. This special issue of Erkenntnis is devoted to the varieties of disagreement that arise in different areas of discourse.
The special issue is edited by Teresa Marques (Lisbon) and Daniel Cohnitz (Tartu).
