About

James Aitchison

Brief Biography

My undergraduate degree was in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Keble College, Oxford, but that was some time ago.  Since then I had a very enjoyable career as a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser, working for property companies British Land, Hammerson and Urban Catalyst. 

But I always wanted to return to philosophy, and in 2017 arranged an early exit from business.  I completed a Philosophy MA at Birkbeck College, London in 2019 and continue to study independently.

I live in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England with my wife Helen and we have three adult children.  My other interests include travelling, running, spreadsheets and piano. 

My Studies

I currently spend the majority of my time on my studies.  This includes reading books, listening to podcasts, online research, taking notes and writing.
