关于作者:
MARGOT CARDOSO was born in São Paulo, Brazil, graduated in Journalism and History, and has been living in Lisbon since the beginning of the millennium, when she travelled to complete her Master’s degree in Journalism. But after more than fifteen years working as a journalist, she returned to her first love: Philosophy. She completed a post-graduation in Ethics and a Master’s degree in Philosophy. Since 2018, she has been working as a columnist in the Brazilian magazine Vida Simples [Simple Life], in which every week she writes about the accidents and the incidents in the art of living by the teachings of great thinkers. She is immensely grateful for this second life in the land of Camões, which brought her serenity, maturity and a Portuguese son.
