Half Your Brain Sees Reality More Truly. Dr. Iain McGilchrist

ConsciousnessPhilosophy of mindPhilosophy

A live Wonderstruck conversation, pressed by a skeptical philosopher and then the audience. McGilchrist argues that attention creates the world it finds, that the right hemisphere’s view is the more truthful one (nearly every delusional syndrome follows right-hemisphere damage), and that relations are prior to the things they relate. He calls himself a process philosopher in Whitehead’s line, and ends on matter as a phase of consciousness, the way ice is a phase of water.
