Charles Prusik

Charles Prusik serves as Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Morehead State University within the College of History, Philosophy, Politics, Global Studies & Legal Studies, where he also acts as Program Coordinator for the Philosophy Program.

His academic credentials include:

Dr. Prusik specializes in Social and Political Philosophy, Critical Theory, and Continental Philosophy with concentrated expertise in the Frankfurt School tradition. His research critically engages Theodor W. Adorno's work to dissect political economy and neoliberalism through concepts like natural-history, examining how exchange society structures commodify social relations and obscure systemic inequalities. This theoretical framework bridges 20th-century critical theory with contemporary economic analysis.

His publication trajectory reveals consistent scholarly focus on Adorno's relevance to modern neoliberal structures. The 2020 monograph and 2018/2017 journal chapters collectively demonstrate how Frankfurt School methodology exposes neoliberalism's transformation of social relations into market logic, with particular attention to architecture's role in materializing economic ideologies. These works establish his contribution to philosophical critiques of political economy.

Though the source text provides no explicit details about student advising or research grants, his program coordination responsibilities indicate active involvement in curriculum development and academic leadership within the Philosophy Program.
