Alison Simmons
Samuel H. Wolcott Professor of Philosophy, FAS
Simmons research interests lie primarily at the intersection of philosophy and psychology. She works on questions about the nature of mind in general, and the nature of sense perception in particular, as they have treated historically from the ancient through the early modern periods, and also as they are discussed today. She is currently working on the development of theories of unconscious mental life as it develops from the early modern period into the twentieth century.
