What is Depth?

‍Friday, 13th of March | 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
On campus.

‍“Our talent for division, for seeing the parts, is of staggering importance - second only to our capacity to transcend it, in order to see the whole”
- Dr Iain McGilchrist

Join us on-campus to hear Dr Iain McGilchrist’s reflections on the many aspects of loss of depth from our world, and its relation to the conundrum of how to combine specialisation and breadth of scope, breadth of understanding.

“A profound examination of the differences between the left hemisphere of the brain and the right.”
- Philip Pullman writing in 'The Guardian'

Dr Iain McGilchrist is a Fellow of the London Interdisciplinary School, best-known for The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World (Yale 2009). In November 2021 his two-volume work The Matter with Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World was published by Perspectiva Press.
