Iain McGilchrist

Iain McGilchrist is a British psychiatrist, writer, and former Oxford literary scholar whose work explores the relationship between the brain's two hemispheres and their influence on human culture, thought, and civilisation. The Master and His Emissary is his magnum opus, arguing that the left hemisphere's dominance in modern Western culture has led to a narrowing of human experience. McGilchrist's audiobooks and books are landmark works of intellectual synthesis, drawing on neuroscience, philosophy, and the arts.
