Paulo Lima
Appointed Research Fellow

In 2012, I completed a PhD on “Heidegger and the Phenomenology of Human Solitude” at FCSH/NOVA. From 2012 to 2017, I was an Integrated Member of the IEF R&D Research Unit at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra. As a member of the Institute, I participated in its strategic project, funded by the Portuguese Agency for Science and Technology (PEst-C/FIL/UI0010/2013). While at the Institute, I carried out postdoctoral research on “Freedom and Responsibility in Stoic Thought”, for which I received funding by the Institute and the Fondation Hardt pour l’étude de l’antiquité classique in Geneva. The funding from the Institute allowed me to conduct a research stay in Utrecht, to work with reputed scholars on Stoicism (Keimpe Algra, Teun Tieleman and Jaap Mansfeld) at the local university. From 2017 to 2018, I was an Integrated Member of the CFUL R&D Research Unit, where I worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the project “Experimentation and Dissidence”, funded by the Portuguese Agency for Science and Technology (PTDC/MHC-FIL/1416/2014). As a member of the project’s team, I carried out research on Nietzsche’s and Foucault’s reception of Antiquity, and have proactively collaborated in the organization of several international conferences and the edition of several conference proceedings on the subject of experimentation and dissidence in philosophy and the arts. Since the beginning of 2019, I am an Integrated Member of IFILNOVA R&D Research Unit. As a member of IFILNOVA, I participate in its strategic project, funded by the Portuguese Agency for Science and Technology (UID/FIL/00183/2019), and carry out research on ancient and contemporary philosophy in the Culturelab. Also at IFILNOVA, as a member of the Nietzsche Lisbon Group, I am part of the team working in the project “Nihilism and Art in Nietzsche: Fragments”, funded by the Portuguese Agency for Science and Technology (PTDC/FER FIL/30172/2017). In the context of the Nietzsche Lisbon Group and the Ars vivendi Research Group, I am developing a project on “Greek Pessimism as a Form of Nihilism in the Young Nietzsche”, for which I recently received funding by the Portuguese Agency for Science and Technology as an Assistant Researcher at IFILNOVA.
