  Book Description
  Publication Date: October 9, 2012
  Why is the brain divided? The difference between right
and left hemispheres has been puzzled over for centuries. In a book of unprecedented scope, Iain McGilchrist draws on a
vast body of recent brain research, illustrated with case histories, to reveal that the difference is
profound—not just this or that function, but two whole, coherent, but incompatible ways of experiencing the
world. The left hemisphere is detail oriented, prefers mechanisms to living things, and is inclined to self-interest,
where the right hemisphere has greater breadth, flexibility, and generosity. This division helps explain the origins of
music and language, and casts new light on the history of philosophy, as well as on some mental illnesses.
  In the
second part of the 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 Aeschylus to
Magritte. He argues that, despite its inferior grasp of reality, the left hemisphere is increasingly taking precedence
in the modern world, with potentially disastrous consequences. This is truly a tour de force that should excite interest
in a wide readership.
  
  Editorial
Review
  From Publishers Weekly
  A U.K. mental health
consultant and clinical director with a background in literature, McGilchrist attempts to synthesize his two areas of
expertise, arguing that the "divided and asymmetrical nature" of the human brain is reflected in the history of Western
culture. Part I, The Divided Brain, lays the groundwork for his thesis, examining two lobes' significantly different
features (structure, sensitivity to hormones, etc.) and separate functions (the left hemisphere is concerned with
"what," the right with "how"). He suggests that music, "ultimately... the communication of emotion," is the "ancestor of
language," arising largely in the right hemisphere while "the culture of the written word tends inevitably toward the
predominantly left hemisphere." More controversially, McGilchrist argues that "there is no such thing as the brain" as
such, only the brain as we perceive it; this leads him to conclude that different periods of Western civilization (from
the Homeric epoch to the present), one or the other hemisphere has predominated, defining "consistent ways of being that
persist" through time. This densely argued book is aimed at an academic crowd, is notable for its sweep but a stretch in
terms of a uniting thesis.

  Reviews
  "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) 
  
  "A giant in his vital field shows convincingly that the degeneracy of the West
springs from our failure to manage the binary division of our brains." (Book of the Year
choice, David Cox, Evening Standard) 
  
  "A beautifully written, erudite, fascinating, and
adventurous book. It goes from the microstructure of the brain to great epochs of Western civilisation, confidently and
readably. One turns its five hundred pages... as if it were an adventure story." (A. C.
Grayling, Literary Review) 
  
  "To call Iain McGilchrist's The Master and His Emissary... an
account of brain hemispheres is to woefully misrepresent its range. McGilchrist 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." (Salley Vicker, The Guardian) 
  
  "McGilchrist, for whom
certainty is the greatest of illusions, has produced an absolutely convincing narrative of who we are." (Nicholas Shakespeare, Daily Telegraph) Named one of the best books of 2010 by (The
Guardian)"
