Clarke’s work bridges metaphysics and ethics, particularly examining how agency concepts relate to moral responsibility. He critiques determinism and explores libertarianism’s viability. His recent research emphasizes blameworthiness, culpability mechanisms, and asymmetries between actions and omissions.
His 95+ publications address topics like agent causation, desert-based retributivism, and responsibility for acts/omissions. He frequently collaborates with institutions like the APA Eastern Division and organizes conferences on free will and agency.
No specific grants or labs are mentioned, but his influence extends through academic events like the Florida State University Graduate Conference on Free Will, Moral Responsibility, and Agency (2013).
