Charlie grew up in Washington, DC and went to college at the University of Virginia. Before returning to school to get a Ph.D. in philosophy, he spent three years working in finance in New York City. Charlie’s research and teaching interests include: ethics (all flavors), moral psychology, emotion, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics. Recent he has been interested in questions at the intersection of the philosophy of emotion and ethical theory. Charlie has received awards for both his research and teaching.
Before coming to Clemson, Charlie was a Fellow at the Fellow at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies.
