The Matter with Things, Iain McGilchrist at the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre, Edinburugh (in-person event)

5th August 2023 (10.00am to 4.30pm) 

Event description.

Through this seminar, Iain will explore the relevance of the hemisphere hypothesis in 2023 and ask, what is the matter with things? Where are we now? Can we really neglect the sacred and divine? Why, indeed, are we engaged in destroying everything that is valuable to us? Is it possible for us to recover our humanity?
