The Lisbon School refers to a group of Portuguese philosophers and intellectuals who emerged in the late 20th century, primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. This movement is known for its focus on analytical philosophy, emphasizing clarity and logical reasoning. Key figures include José Gomes Ferreira, Eugénio Lisboa, and Fernando Gil, who contributed to various fields such as ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language. The Lisbon School is often associated with a critical approach to traditional philosophical problems, seeking to address contemporary issues through rigorous analysis. Its influence extends beyond Portugal, impacting discussions in broader European philosophical circles and contributing to the development of modern thought in areas like philosophy of science and political philosophy.
