Having started as a research unit dedicated to the Philosophy of Language, the Nova Institute of Philosophy was created in 1993 and, since that date, has obtained Excellent in all evaluations by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia). From 2014 onwards, the Institute has seen its level of internationalization grow, either through the increase in the number of publications in renowned international journals and publishers, or through the various applications for European projects in which it has been successful. In recent years, IFILNOVA has consolidated its commitment to research with a single thematic line, having also expanded the number of approaches to the philosophical problems in question. IFILNOVA’s main goal is to develop research programs focused on the philosophical investigation of values, particularly by investigating the nature of value, the role of values in human action, as well as their normativity as constituted through public argumentation and reasoning in the ethical, political and aesthetic fields. The programs aim also to apply philosophical theories to social practices and problems.
