We had a brilliant time with Iain on this discussion, and we all enjoyed Iain's sense of humours tremendously. Lots of funny moments!!
Today's topic of discussion : The Matter with Things
Who are we? What is the nature of reality? What is our relationship with time and space? Dr. McGilchrist has taken on this challenge. In his new book, offers a new vision that is based in cognitive neuroscience, deeply grounded in philosophy, sustained by the most up-to-date findings of physics. A vision that inverts common assumptions about what matters; a vision that sees the whole, not the parts; a vision that helps us break out of the hall of mirrors. It tackles the fundamental questions of what we can say of time, space, motion, matter, consciousness, purpose, value and divinity. It offers us a new perspective of humanity and the world, at a fundamental level, “The Matter with Things.”
