At the intersection of digital realms and critical reflection, Virtualia, magazine, is proud to present a collaboration with the Philosophical Investigation Series (SIF: Série Investigação Filosófica)—an academic initiative dedicated to expanding access to contemporary philosophical thought.
Since 2020, the series has translated and published key texts from internationally renowned sources—particularly the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy—into Portuguese. It aims to serve as both didactic material and a resource for advanced research, especially in regions where access to foreign-language texts remains limited.
In 2021, the project received support from the John Templeton Foundation, enabling the publication of 16 volumes in core areas of philosophy. These works are available as free e-books and have been distributed in print to educational institutions across Brazil. Right now, SIF has 37 published books and growing.
What unites Virtualia, magazine, and the Philosophical Investigation Series is more than thematic affinity—it is origin. Both are initiatives developed within the Grupo de Pesquisa Investigação Filosófica, a research group officially listed in the Brazilian Ministry of Education’s CNPq/CAPES Directory of Research Groups. This connection underscores a shared commitment to high-level, accessible, and socially impactful philosophy.
Virtualia, magazine, explores the intersections of art, technology, and philosophy, while the Philosophical Investigation Series focuses on offering rigorous translations and philosophical resources. Together, they form a unified front in the effort to expand and deepen philosophical literacy within the Portuguese-speaking world.
By opening this channel, Virtualia, magazine, invites its readers to explore the Philosophical Investigation Series, freely available online, and to participate in a knowledge ecosystem where translation is also transformation—of ideas, contexts, and futures.
