Les recherches de Charles Shepherdson explorent la théorie littéraire et culturelle, avec un accent particulier sur la psychanalyse, la philosophie continentale contemporaine et l'histoire intellectuelle du XIXe siècle. Son œuvre interroge les liens complexes entre de profondes perspectives psychologiques et l'évolution de la pensée philosophique, le tout observé à travers le prisme de la littérature. L'enseignement de Shepherdson couvre la riche tapisserie de la poésie romantique britannique ainsi que les drames et philosophies fondamentaux de la Grèce antique, démontrant un large engagement envers les traditions intellectuelles durables.
Weaves together three themes at the intersection of Jacques Lacan and the philosophical tradition.
