Caleb Herman Perl

Caleb Herman Perl serves as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Philosophy within the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy, focusing on foundational questions in moral and political philosophy. His institutional affiliation demonstrates deep integration within theological-philosophical academic structures.

Perl's research centers on metaethical challenges to moral realism, particularly through moral error theory and rule consequentialism frameworks. He critically examines moral epistemology from naturalist perspectives and investigates political liberalism's practical foundations, often bridging semantics with normative theory. His work consistently addresses how metaethical commitments impact normative reasoning and political justification.

Analysis of his 2015-2023 publications reveals sustained engagement with moral semantics and epistemology. Key trajectories include reformulating error theory (2022), solving deontic logic puzzles (2021), and developing contextualist approaches to epistemics (2017). His Oxford Studies contributions demonstrate particular influence in political philosophy and metaethics, with recurring themes of moral intuition reliability and hybrid semantic frameworks.
