#122 - The Mystery of Consciousness: Iain McGilchrist on Hemispheric Difference, The Neuroscience of Experience, Complexity Theories of the Brain, and the Ontological Implications of Holism

“What is required is an attentive response to something real and other than ourselves, of which we have only inklings at first, but which comes more and more into being through our response to it – if we are truly responsive to it. We nurture it into being; or not. In this it has something of the structure of love.” -Iain McGilchrist, The Matter with Things, 2021 -//- Original YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V3_Y_FuMYk Per the Wonderstruck Podcast: "Delivered at 'A Symposium on Consciousness' on August 2, 2024, at the stunning Kinross House Estate in Scotland, this talk was presented by Wonderstruck, The Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School, and Five Books.
