Biography

Alan Atkinson is interested in the understandings of individual human character as evolved during the European Enlightenment and into the mid-nineteenth century. He aims to delve into the self-understanding and recollection of self, with a central inquiry into the progressive formation of conscience. His work examines the philosophical thoughts concerning the long-term evolution of the human self and social consciousness, and he addresses the complex shifts in collective moral ambition. Trained as a historian, Atkinson sees the Enlightenment as part of a much longer narrative connected to human brain structure and function. He employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating historical and psychological perspectives to uncover insights into the human experience.
