Last updated over 1 year ago. What is this?

Human experience, in the vision of Iain McGilchrist, can be described as the profound interplay between the embodied subjectivity of individuals and the encompassing world that elicits a continuous dance of perceptions, emotions, and intuitions. It transcends mere cognitive processes, rooting itself deeply within the lived reality where right hemisphere engagement fosters an interconnected understanding of existence, imbued with context, meaning, and depth. This experience is not a mere collection of discrete moments or data points; it is a holistic, richly textured narrative that emerges through the dynamic, reciprocal relationship between our inner selves and the external environment. Thus, human experience is inherently fluid and multi-dimensional, reflecting an intricate balance between analytical precision and a broader, more integrative consciousness.
