Hi, my name is Marcos Silva. I am currently Associate Professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil, where I coordinate the research group NormAtiva.

 Since 2018, I am also Productivity Researcher Level 2 of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq/Brazil). I also work as the current President of the Brazilian Society of Analytic Philosophy (SBFA). Currently, I am also a Visiting researcher at the Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) working on an application of Ecological Psychology into the Philosophy of Logic. This research is funded by Humboldt Stiftung/Germany and CAPES/Brazil.

    My work deals mainly with Philosophy of Logic, Philosophy of Language, Epistemology and Wittgenstein’s Philosophy. I already presented some topics of my research throughout Europe and in US. In 2018, I received the Fulbright Junior Faculty Award to work as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Pittsburgh (Philosophy Department), under Bob Brandom's supervision. 

My PhD thesis in Philosophy was supervised by Luiz Carlos Pereira at the PUC-Rio, Brazil, and by Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer at the Universität Leipzig, Germany.

    My areas of competence (AoC) are: analytic philosophy, philosophy of language, philosophical logic, non-classical logics, epistemology, normativity and philosophy of mind; my areas of specialization (AoS) are: philosophy and history of logic and Wittgenstein's philosophy and Brandom's philosophy.

    I have also great interest in several anti-realist philosophers as Kant, Schopenhauer, Brouwer, Lorenzen, Dummet and Prawitz.
