McGilchrist draws on a vast body of recent research in neuroscience and psychology to reveal that the difference is profound: the left hemisphere is detail oriented, while the right has greater breadth, flexibility, and generosity. McGilchrist then takes the reader on a journey through the history of Western culture, illustrating the tension between these two worlds as revealed in the thought and belief of thinkers and artists from Aeschylus to Magritte.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"A landmark new book...It tells a story you need to hear, of where we live now.\"-Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times \"A very remarkable book...McGilchrist, who is both an experienced psychiatrist and a shrewd philosopher, looks at the relation between our two brain-hemispheres in a new light, not just as an interesting neurological problem but as a crucial shaping factor in our culture ...splendidly thought-provoking...I couldn't put it down.\"-Mary Midgley, The Guardian Named one of the best books of 2010 by The Guardian\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"The Week Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54037925069076,"sku":"fwv1789764400466","price":12.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/7627\/9316\/files\/the-master-and-his-emissary-by-iain-mcgilchrist_1.jpg?v=1789764404","url":"https:\/\/straphemfit.shop\/products\/the-master-and-his-emissary-by-iain-mcgilchrist","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
