Dr. Rodrigo Borges is an Assistant Instructional Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Florida. He holds a PhD in Philosophy from Rutgers University. His research focuses on epistemology, with particular interests in the Gettier problem, formal epistemology, and the history of philosophy (especially Plato and Descartes). He is currently pursuing a project on 'Knowledge and Reasoning,' integrating traditional and formal methods across epistemology, metaphysics, and psychology.

Dr. Borges has edited several volumes, including Illuminating Errors: New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge (Routledge, 2023) and co-edited special issues in Synthese and Manuscrito. His work bridges analytical philosophy with historical and interdisciplinary approaches.
