He went on and on... and on about how it's not respectable to study hemispheric differences. It is a powerful argument to suggest that humans have been suppressing parts of the brain in the interests of the state, or organised religion, say; and it is also a fascinating one that has real implications for cultural shifts. 'The Master' is the righthand hemisphere, 'His Emissary' is the left. In between, the same basic idea -- about two incompatible ways of looking at the world, which sometimes cooperate with each other and at other times compete for control inside our crania -- is stated at least 2 or 3 or more times on every page, well over a thousand times in all. In describing the right side of the brain, however, she instructed students to understand and draw of edges and lines, space between items, perspective, and proportion between things, light and shadows and the whole (gestalt) as the first four.

This book was written in 2009. Armed with McGilchrist’s exposé of the structure of the matter, and some uncommon toys that can rebalance the interplay and renew evolutionary development of cooperation between the hemispheres with the RH in clear evidence if not emphasized... we could transform our species and human intelligence in a heartbeat. McGilchrist offers a readable account on the workings of the hemispheres, then a sweeping account of how in history since the Greeks -- reflected in literature and philosophy and science -- they have come to dysfunction, the rationalistic left brain usurping the intuitive gestalt function of the right.
