Iain McGilchrist Biography

Iain McGilchrist is a writer and psychiatrist. He was a literary scholar before going into medicine, and his work on the brain is informed by a serious examination of the importance of art and culture. He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can only be understood in the broadest possible context, that of our entire physical and spiritual existence, and of the larger human culture in which they emerge — the culture that helps to shape, and is shaped by, our minds and brains, according to his official bio. His new book, The Master and His Emissary delve into the nature of the brain's two hemispheres (in McGilchrist's terminology, the right is the master). How did the interaction between our two hemispheres evolve, and how did it shape our awareness, culture, and ability to comprehend our own brains? Finally! An exciting read on neuroscience that is philosophically sophisticated and filled with amazing science. MarkVernon.com
