Lucas Angioni

Bolsista de Produtividade CNPq, nível 1C / CNPq Productivity Researcher 1C.

Possuo graduação em Filosofia pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1994), mestrado em Filosofia pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1996) e doutorado em Filosofia pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas (2000). Desde 2007, fiz vários estágios de pós-doutorado no exterior (Oxford, Stanford, Berkeley), com destaque para os afastamentos sabáticos em 2007 (Academic Visitor em Oxford, com David Charles) e 2015 (Visiting Scholar em Stanford, com Alan Code, e Academic Visitor em Oxford, com Michail Peramatzis).

Desde 1998, sou professor do Depto. de Filosofia da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, na área de História da Filosofia Antiga (sobretudo Platão e Aristóteles), sendo Livre-Docente MS.5 desde 2014. Minha área de pesquisa se concentra principalmente nos seguintes eixos: teoria das explicações científicas, metafísica e ética em Aristóteles”.

In English:

I have a degree in Philosophy (1994), a Masters in Philosophy (1996) and a PhD in Philosophy (2000) from the University of Campinas, where I have a teaching position since 1998 (tenured in 2003). Since 2007, I have had several research stages abroad (Oxford, Stanford, Berkeley), among which I highlight my two sabbatical leaves, first in 2007 (Academic Visitor in Oxford with David Charles) then in 2015 (Visiting Scholar in Stanford with Alan Code in the summer, and Academic Visitor at Oxford in the spring, with Michail Peramatzis).

I have become Associate Professor in 2014. I have been Director of Graduate Studies in Philosophy at the University of Campinas from 2009 to 2013. My field is Ancient Philosophy (especially Plato and Aristotle). My research focuses mainly on the following themes: Aristotle’s theory of scientific explanation, Aristotle’s and Plato’s metaphysics; Aristotle’s ethics”.

Linhas de Pesquisa:

• História da Filosofia Antiga (Platão e Aristóteles)
• Filosofia Grega Clássica​

Pesquisas em desenvolvimento:

Preparo (lentamente) um livro sobre a teoria da explicação científica (apodeixis) nos Segundos Analíticos de Aristóteles, e esse é também o tema central em torno do qual gravitam meus interesses de pesquisa.

Também preparo uma tradução comentada dos Segundos Analíticos de Aristóteles, a qual faz a revisão dos pré-prints publicados em 2002 e 2004 (https://www.academia.edu/8750907/Segundos_Anal%C3%ADticos_II; https://www.academia.edu/8750863/Segundos_Anal%C3%ADticos_I).

Paralelamente, preparo tradução comentada dos livros centrais (VII-VIII) da Metafísica de Aristóteles, a qual faz a revisão dos pré-prints publicados em 2005 (https://www.academia.edu/9649681/Metaf%C3%ADsica_VII_e_VIII_Z_e_H_).

Também me dedico a desdobramentos da metodologia de Aristóteles em diversas áreas: explicação e definição em suas Éticas, aplicação da teoria dos Segundos Analíticos nos tratados de ciências naturais, bem como o contraste entre sofística e as várias formas de ‘sabedoria’ ou ‘expertise’.

In English:

I am (slowly) working on a book manuscript on Aristotle’s theory of scientific explanation (apodeixis) in the Posterior Analytics, and this is also the central theme around which my research interests gravitate.

I am also preparing a commented translation of Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics into Portuguese, which revises the pre-prints published in 2002 and 2004 (https://www.academia.edu/8750907/Segundos_Anal%C3%ADticos_II; https://www.academia.edu/8750863/Segundos_Anal%C3%ADticos_I).

At the same time, I am working on a commented translation of the central books (VII-VIII) of Aristotle’s Metaphysics into Portuguese, which revises the pre-print published in 2005 (https://www.academia.edu/9649681/Metaf%C3%AD3ica_VII_e_VIII_Z_e_H_).

I am also exploring Aristotle’s methodology in several areas (as a natural extension of my main concern with the Posterior Analytics): explanation and definition in both Ethics written by Aristotle, applications of the Posterior Analytics theory in the natural sciences, as well as the contrast between sophistry and the various forms of ‘wisdom’ or ‘expertise’.

Research Group MEZA: Metaphysics, science and dialectic in Aristotle.

MEZA involves my current and former students, post-doc researchers and scholars from other institutions. We run reading seminars on Ancient Philosophy texts, and organize local and internacional conferences (see full list below). Our research interests orbit around main themes in Aristotle’s philosophy (with extended lines towards Plato’s), the main core being Aristotle’s theory of scientific explanation, its logical and ontological underpinnings and its applications in several areas (including ethics and meta-ethics).
