An Evolutionary Theory of Consciousness and Free Will
Starting on the 15th of March 2020, I began writing a series of essays on consciousness and free will. After publishing 31 essays, the series was completed on the 3rd of October 2021. This exercise began as a simple survey of some current consciousness literature for my blog, but as the survey progressed, I discovered a major hole missing from these studies. None of the main theorists had used Tinbergen’s four questions (a standard tool of analysis in evolutionary studies) to look at the present and historical aspects of consciousness and free will. I decided to work on this, which turned the series into a major research project.
The results have been collated into a 260-page document that is easy to navigate and search through. There is a 6-page executive summary at the start, which will give you a good overview of the theory and hopefully draw you in to read more.
