from PhilosophyEAST · host PhilosophyEAST

In the first interview with Iain McGilchrist, we explore the idea that the mind can only be understood in the broadest possible context -- from our embodied existence, the wider human culture, and how these shape and mould each other. Listen to Iain in conversation with Jnanavaca. Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist, writer, and literary scholar. McGilchrist came to prominence after the publication of his book The Master and His Emissary, subtitled The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World.
