Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra (born 7 August 1969) is an Argentinian philosopher. He is currently a lecturer at the University of Oxford, where he has the title of Professor of Metaphysics, and a Tutorial Fellow at Oriel College.
Rodriguez-Pereyra has previously been a Research Fellow at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, Lecturer at the University of Oxford and Tutorial Fellow at Hertford College, and Professor at the University of Nottingham and Universidad Torcuato Di Tella.[1] He earned his first degree from the National University of Córdoba, his MPhil from Peterhouse, Cambridge and PhD from Churchil College, Cambridge, where he was a student of Hugh Mellor.[2]
His interests are primarily in Metaphysics and the philosophy of Leibniz. His work on resemblance nominalism provides a response to that of David Malet Armstrong and grounds resemblance relations in the sort of modal realism expressed in On the Plurality of Worlds by David Lewis.[3]
