ROGÉRIO PASSOS SEVERO
Welcome to my homepage! Since 2009, I've been teaching Philosophy at UFSM (Santa Maria). I wrote my M.A. thesis on incongruent counterparts and demonstrative identification at UFRGS (Porto Alegre, 2000) and my Ph.D. dissertation on Quine and underdetermination at UIC (Chicago, 2006). My research interests are currently focused on metaphysics and epistemology, especially Quine, Kant, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, philosophy of religion and spirituality, and some philosophy of mind and logic.
