The Unfolding of Life and Though‪t‬: Iain McGilchrist and Stephen Blackwood

Our great needs for connectedness and individual expression - are these things are incompatible?

In Part II of their conversation, Stephen Blackwood and Iain McGilchrist discuss questions of theology, science, and philosophy, including: the shared nature of human life, revealed anew by the COVID-19 lockdowns; 'unfolding' as a metaphor for actualization; freedom, necessity, and reason; and the fundamental role of the humanities in a thriving culture.
