Robert Vinten is currently commencing a new FCT-funded project on epistemic injustice, 'Power, Prejudice, and Perception'. He was previously the postdoctoral fellow in the FCT project 'Epistemology of Religious Belief: Wittgenstein, Grammar, and the Contemporary World' (FCT Project: PTDC/FER-FIL/32203/2017). He gained his PhD at Universidade Nova (2018) and has previously studied at Oxford Brookes University (PGCE, 2008), the University of Reading, Georgia State University (MA Philosophy, 2000) and the University of Glasgow (MA Hons, Philosophy, 1997).

His publications include the book Wittgenstein and the Social Sciences: Action, Ideology, and Justice (Anthem Press, 2020) as well as articles such as 'Wittgenstein, Quasi-Fideism, and Scepticism' (Topoi, 2022), 'Theolologicophilological Investigations: Is Wittgenstein's Tractatus a Modernist Work' (Philosophical Investigations, 2021), ‘Was Wittgenstein a Liberal Philosopher?’ (Teorema, 2017), and Eagleton’s Wittgenstein (Critique, 2015).
