Dr. Ian McGilchrist Breaks the Light-O-Meter
Dr. Ian McGilchrist, psychiatrist, philosopher and neuroscientist behind The Master and His Emissary, appears with a short bio. He contrasts left- and right-hemisphere ways of attending and explores Enlightenment legacies, relations-before-things, and the limits of reason. He discusses intuition, computers and attention, takes a playful Light-O-Meter test, and reflects on art, faith, and truth as unfolding process.
