Essays on Values Vol. 3

These three volumes, entitled Essays On Values, bring together forty-one recent articles by researchers at the NOVA Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA). They are a small sample of everything that, in the last four years, the Institute’s researchers have published, in English, in indexed journals and collections of essays with peer review. As a whole, they reflect very well the research work that is done at IFILNOVA.
