Mark English
Mark English has a strong interest in the way language and the broader culture influence individual thinking and an unhealthy obsession with the general and popular culture of the early and middle decades of the 20th century.
After completing undergraduate studies in English and French literature and an MA in English with a strong history of ideas component, he studied linguistic theory (focusing on syntax and phonology within a broadly Chomskyan framework). His PhD dissertation was on the thought of Louis Rougier [1889-1982], a largely forgotten figure who nonetheless played a significant role in European intellectual life, especially during the 1920s and 30s.
A regular contributor to The Electric Agora almost since its inception, Mark also maintains several personal sites, including the blogs Conservative Tendency and Language, Life and Logic.
