Krátky popis
A pioneering exploration of the differences between the brain's
right and left hemispheres and their effects on society, history,
and culture-",one of the few contemporary works deserving classic
status", (Nicholas Shakespeare, Times, UK) ",Persuasively argues
that our society is suffering from the consequences of an
over-dominant left hemisphere losing touch with its natural
regulative 'master' the right. Brilliant and disturbing.",-Salley
Vickers, a Guardian Best Book of the Year ",I know of no better
exposition of the current state of functional brain
neuroscience.",-W. F.Bynum, Times Literary Supplement Why is the
brain divided? The difference between right and left hemispheres
has been puzzled over for centuries. Drawing upon a vast body of
brain research, the renowned psychiatrist, author, and thinker Iain
McGilchrist reveals that the difference between the two sides is
profound-two whole, coherent, but incompatible ways of experiencing
the world. The detail-oriented left hemisphere prefers mechanisms
to living things and is inclined to self-interest, while the right
hemisphere has greater breadth, flexibility, and generosity.In the
second part of his book, McGilchrist 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 the ancient to the modern, from Aeschylus
to Magritte. He ultimately argues that, despite its inferior grasp
of reality, the left hemisphere is increasingly taking precedence
in today's world-with potentially disastrous consequences.
