Dr. Warren's research is concerned primarily with questions of meta-ethics: what is the nature of ethical thought and practice? Is morality objective? How do we hairless, language-using apes come to know moral truths? His teaching experience covers a variety of philosophical subjects since 2007: ethics, formal logic, law, the philosophy of mind, free will, and theories of human nature, to name a few.
