Description
The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, Second Edition A groundbreaking exploration of the human brain, where mind meets matter. Iain McGilchrist challenges the long-held notion that the left hemisphere of the brain is the dominant partner, arguing that it is the right side that holds the key to our true nature. Drawing on a vast body of experimental research, McGilchrist reveals the limitations of the left brain and the importance of its right counterpart in shaping our world. Through a fascinating examination of the brain's structure and function, McGilchrist shows how the right brain's unique abilities enable us to perceive and experience the world in a rich and nuanced way. This new edition, published with a special introduction to mark its 10th anniversary, offers a fresh perspective on the nature of human consciousness and our place in the world.
