The Brain and Its Emissary
The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World
Book •
The Brain and Its Emissary, by Iain McGilchrist, explores the fundamental differences between the brain's left and right hemispheres and their impact on Western culture.
McGilchrist argues that the dominance of the left hemisphere, with its focus on logic and abstraction, has led to a fragmented and distorted view of the world.
The book advocates for a rebalancing of the hemispheres to restore a more holistic and connected way of understanding reality.
By integrating philosophy, neuroscience, and cultural history, McGilchrist offers a profound critique of modern society and a vision for a more balanced and meaningful future.
