“The Divided Brain” by Iain McGilchrist



Sciences Po

09/10/2019 An exceptional conference with Iain McGilchrist, world-renowned author of The Master and his Emissary. The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, psychiatrist, lecturer and former Oxford literary scholar.

Cognition is not one unified relation between the mind and the world, but it is conditioned by the hemispherical division of the brain such that each of us perceives reality in two quite different, potentially conflicting ways. This has important consequences both for how we understand knowledge, belief, certainty, reason and feeling, and for the emphasis put on each of these dispositions at various stages in human evolution and culture.

  1. He's self-censoring on the differences between the male and female brain because of the negative reaction it would get, disappointing moment.

  2. I csn see nothing in the projected pictures. No detail, no colors . . . just blobs of vague black jumbles on a white background. Is something wrong with my computer?

  3. Donald Trump is quite a lot smarter than academics realize. Yes, far and away smarter. Think about it…..Of course he is. Do some science for Christs sake. Make some comparisons.

    "He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: General Good is the plea of the Scoundrel, Hypocrite, & Flatterer, for Art & Science cannot exist but in minutely organized particulars, And not in generalizing Demonstrations of Rational Power."

  5. This explains the internal monologue and dialogues, or the talking to ourselves that we do. Its just the right hemisphere talking and arguing with the left and these two rarely agree.

  6. Its trauma from all media has child then being activated through a language keys so you sit up there for price of parkin tickit.

  7. Were the trade buys ! Led and magnetic mineing freqency lighting causing the heat above just that of covid.

  8. Lady of 1:38:40 is spitting facts! Poverty all over the world has been reduced for millions of people. This needs to be put into international context. Let's debate this with Rosling (author of book "Factfulness"), who sees it just opposite.

  9. I would hope Dr. McCilchrist will collaborate with non Western cultures on meaning making that occurs through their cultural lens. His theorizing references a Eurocentric world view.

  10. I could listen to this man, scientist, philosopher, human thinker for hours to enrich my Impoverished mundane knowledge , and awakened my right hemisphere to the depth, beauty and the reality of the 3 d of life.
