Discussion in the Festival of Spirituality at St John’s Edinburgh
Saturday 20 August 12.30 – 1.30pm
Recent centuries have seen a drift towards literalism, fundamentalism and scientism in western culture. Does this ‘left brain chauvinism’ make us dangerously unaware of all that the right brain can offer – big picture, meaning, metaphor, spirituality. Iain McGilchrist, psychiatrist and writer explores these issues with Dr Joe Bouch, consultant psychiatrist and editor of Advances in Psychiatric Treatment and CFH Chairman John Munro, philosophy of science graduate, retired Church of Scotland minister and member of the Scottish Institute of Human Relations.
