This discussion between Peterson and McGilchrist was great - a lot of solid metaphysical ground was covered and a bit of spiritual as well towards the end. Iain clearly takes the metamorphic view of spirituality seriously and, although he does explicitly say so, I would imagine his view is somewhat aligned with Christian esoteric tradition. JP is clearly searching for spiritual answers which go beyond traditional religious dogma.



"Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist, author, thinker, and lecturer. He is maybe best known for his book The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World

Dr. Iain McGilchrist and I discussed a variety of topics relating to the bifurcated brain, how we process reality as human beings, and the downfalls of the views that have shaped western culture according to McGilchrist."
