Robotic liver transplantation represents a cutting-edge technique that may surpass traditional open surgery. Nonetheless, it introduces unique anesthetic challenges, including extended pneumoperitoneum, restricted patient access, and a risk of undetected blood loss. This article describes an anesthetic approach and patient outcomes for the first four total robotic liver transplants performed at a tertiary unive...
UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020; Neste capítulo pretende-se, sobretudo, desenhar um caminho possível para uma atualização do conceito aristotélico de sabedoria prática (phronêsis), no contexto do debate ético contempo-râneo. Nesse caminho, afloram -se alguns problemas que se colocam no domínio dos estudos neoaristotélicos, nomeadamente aqueles que dizem respeito ao modo como deve ser concebida a racionalidade p...
UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020; This paper explores the relevance of intergenerational ethics in the context of climate change and argues that virtue ethics provides a suitable framework for addressing these ethical concerns. We suggest the inclusion of a new virtue, called prospection, which involves cultivating the ability to think and care deeply about the future, navigate its inherent uncertainties constru...
UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020; We present the structure and guiding principles of this Special Issue, with a brief description of the participants’ contributions and the relations holding between them. The intersection between aesthetics and ethics as a field of philosophical enquiry is presented under the guise of a ‘layer cake’: at the top layer we find the most general metaphysical and epistemological issu...
UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020 SFRH/BPD/102949/2014; This paper discusses the influence and role of Aristotelian ethics in two contemporary ethical theories stemming from different traditions, those put forward by Elizabeth Anscombe and Paul Ricœur. In different ways, these accounts of ethics can be considered “virtue theories”. First, we focus on Anscombe’s recovery of Aristotelian “virtue ethics” in the cont...
UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020; Fent-ne una lectura particular, «Modern Moral Philosophy» (La filosofia moral moderna) d’Anscombe es considera un text fundador en el renaixement de l’ètica de la virtut. Vist així, Anscombe insinua que és possible fer ètica sense emprar conceptes com «deure moral» o «obligació moral»; l’exemple perfecte n’és l’ètica aristotèlica. D’altra banda, Anscombe afirma que actualment no...
UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020 DL 57/2016/CP1453/CT0090; O volume Kant: atitudes, experiências, valores oferece uma série de estudos, reflexões, contributos, que tratam a filosofia kantiana nos seus múltiplos aspectos e que contemplam quer aquilo que ela engendra, quer aquilo que a ela remete. Temáticas tão distintas quanto a da transcendentalidade, a da natureza da representação ou a da comunidade estética sã...

UID/FIL/00183/2019; In this paper I will analyze John McDowell’s broad account of practical rationality and moral reasons, which he mainly puts forward in his articles “Are moral requirements hypothetical imperatives?” (1978) and “Might there be external reasons?” (1995). My main aim is to argue that from a philosophical perspective, no less than from an empirical one, McDowell’s account of practical rationalit...
