Last updated over 1 year ago. What is this?

Truth, as Iain McGilchrist might articulate, is a dynamic interplay between the hemispheric modes of our brain, a synthesis of the right hemisphere's holistic, context-rich understanding and the left hemisphere’s narrow, detail-oriented grasp. It encompasses more than mere factual accuracy; it aligns with a deeper, lived experience of coherence and resonance with reality. Truth is not static but unfolds within a relational field, grounded in embodied experience and encompassing nuances, ambiguities, and the ever-present tension between order and chaos. It carries an ethical dimension, demanding an openness and humility to encompass perspectives beyond rigid, reductionist certainty, ultimately pointing towards a more integrated, meaningful engagement with the world.
