Iain McGilchrist 在新作《事物的真相：我们的脑、我们的妄想和世界的解体》中探讨了大脑左右半球的差异及其对我们认知世界的影响。他指出，大脑左右半球在认知功能和思维方式上存在着显著差异，并对这种差异如何影响我们对世界的理解进行了深入分析。他认为，这种差异不仅影响我们对事物的认知，也影响着我们对自身、社会和世界的理解。

🧠 左脑和右脑在认知功能和思维方式上存在着显著差异。左脑负责逻辑推理、语言处理、分析思维等，而右脑则负责空间感知、直觉、情感体验等。McGilchrist 认为，左脑的认知方式倾向于线性、分析和还原主义，而右脑的认知方式则更倾向于整体性、直觉和关联性。

🧠 左脑的认知方式在现代社会中占据主导地位，导致我们对世界和自身的理解变得过于理性化和机械化，忽视了直觉、情感和整体性的重要性。这种认知方式的偏差导致了我们对世界的扭曲认知，以及对社会和自身的误解。

🧠 McGilchrist 呼吁我们重新认识大脑左右半球的差异，并平衡左脑和右脑的认知方式。他认为，只有通过平衡左脑和右脑的认知方式，才能更好地理解世界，并构建一个更和谐的社会。

🧠 McGilchrist 的观点挑战了我们对大脑和认知的传统理解，并为我们提供了重新思考自身和世界的全新视角。他强调了直觉、情感和整体性在认知中的重要性，并呼吁我们重新认识大脑左右半球的差异，以构建一个更完整、更平衡的认知体系。

🧠 McGilchrist 的理论为我们提供了理解大脑和认知的全新视角，并为我们构建一个更和谐的社会提供了新的启示。他强调了直觉、情感和整体性在认知中的重要性，并呼吁我们重新认识大脑左右半球的差异，以构建一个更完整、更平衡的认知体系。

He now lives on the Isle of Skye, off the coast of North West Scotland, where he continues to write, and lectures worldwide. He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains.
