On September 2, 2025, I took part in the 6th International Congress of Philosophy, organized by the Portuguese Society of Philosophy at the Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon.
I presented the talk “A collective turn in religious epistemology”, where I argued for expanding religious epistemology beyond individuals to include religious communities or groups. I showed how groups, such as the Catholic Church, can hold epistemic states (like belief or justification), and proposed a functionalist model to explain how such collective states emerge.<svg xmlns="
