Prof. Charlow’s research focuses on philosophical issues in the semantics of natural language, often extending into meta-ethics and epistemology. Across his work he has been interested in developing a theory of what philosophers call “content” that better explains how certain types of language — imperative, conditional, modal, deontic, experiential — interface with thought.
