Charlotte Alderwick

Dr Charlotte Alderwick is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of the West of England (UWE) Bristol, serving as Associate Director for Philosophy, Politics, and International Relations in the School of Social Sciences.

• PhD, MA, BA (hons) in Philosophy

Her work explores the interplay between freedom, agency, and nature in German Idealism, emphasizing Schelling's contributions to contemporary debates on eco-philosophy and environmental ethics. She investigates how Schelling's power-based ontology informs libertarian conceptions of freedom while identifying limitations in individuation and control within such systems.

Recent publications focus on Schelling's Freiheitsschrift, 19th-century women philosophers, and the application of power-based ontologies to environmental ethics. She is available for PhD supervision in her areas of expertise.
