Miguel Bruno Duarte is a Fellow in Philosophy and Political Science at the Inter-American Institute for Philosophy, Government, and Social Thought. He is a Portuguese philosopher whose work is focused on economic, political, and religious classical liberalism. Being an independent thinker, he tries to develop and systematize this principle mainly in his writings, the first of which, entitled Noemas de Filosofia Portuguesa (Noemes of Portuguese Philosophy), has been published in Brazil. He is also a scholar in the strict sense of the word in the study of Portuguese scholasticism, which is chiefly based on Aristotle’s logical, ethical and metaphysical thought.
