Abstract:

El artículo presenta la tesis de Iain McGilchrist sobre la lateralización cerebral y su relevancia para la comprensión de la religión. A continuación, se expone la crítica que Daniel de Haan ha hecho al planteamiento de McGilchrist, al que acusa, principalmente, de no poder evitar las falacias mereológica y del homúnculo. Se exponen después las respuestas de McGilchrist a esas críticas, que desde mi punto de vista salvan parcialmente su tesis principal, aunque reducen su fuerza. Se concluye con una valoración de la polémica que señala algunos puntos de interés para la neuroteología y para cual

Abstract:

ObjectivesRecent movements in end-of-life care emphasise community care for the dying; however, integrating community with medical care continues to be a work in progress. Historically tracing brain hemispheric dominance, Ian McGilchrist believes we are overemphasising functionality, domination and categorisation to the detriment of symbolism, empathy and connectedness with others. The aim of this historical review is to bring McGilchrist’s sociobiological narrative into dialogue with the history and most recent trends in end-of-life care.MethodThis review used widely referenced historical acc

Abstract:

What might have led to the fundamental changes in the built environment during the 20th century? While factors such as postwar reconstruction, urbanization, industrialization, shifts in style, or socio-political changes are surely involved, there may be deeper influences that are associated with the structure and dynamics of the human brain. Iain McGilchrist’s hemisphere hypothesis proposes that the differences between the left and right hemispheres are not functional but embody opposing approaches to the world: the left sees an atomized world made of things to be controlled and manipulated fo

Abstract:

In this essay, I seek to follow and draw upon resources in Ludwig Wittgenstein (and in an important contemporary follower of his, Iain McGilchrist) in order to pose a radical question. I question here the conventional “wisdom” across philosophical traditions (and cleaved to equally strongly by Cavell and Derrida, and for that matter by Richard Dawkins and Donald Davidson), that says—or rather even, simply assumes—that we are finite beings.

Abstract:

AbstractThis essay returns to a largely forgotten achievement of mid-twentieth-century philosophical theology, Richard Kroner’s Culture and Faith (1951) and the “philosophy of faith” presented therein. It focuses on Kroner’s idea of religious imagination as the inspired medium of revelation. It considers implications of this idea with regard to religious epistemology and theological language. In doing so, it puts Kroner in conversation with John Caputo, Iain McGilchrist, and Kroner’s friend and colleague Paul Tillich.

Os afetos sempre tiveram um foco de atenção especial no trabalho de Carl Gustav Jung.

Da mesma forma, Jaak Panksepp, o pai da neurociência afetiva, demonstrou a importância dos sistemas emocionais primários na organização da personalidade dos seres humanos e afirmou que o sucesso dos processos terapêuticos depende da estimulação desses mesmos sistemas.

Diante disso, o presente artigo busca contribuir para a discussão em torno da complexa relação entre tais teorias, identificando nelas um objetivo existencial em comum associado à experiência espiritual.

Abstract:

Human cognition functions best when it traces a path across the three Socratic transcendentals in the unfolding sequence of Beauty, then Goodness, then Truth. I therefore describe the ideal approach to knowledge as “Beauty-First.” By analogizing the epistemological progression underlying the classical Trivium, the Eastern Orthodox Philokalia, and the method that made science truly modern, and then noting that this structure seems to be corroborated by the neuroscience of Iain McGilchrist, we seem to confirm the hypothesis that Beauty, Goodness, and Truth must be appropriated in this sequence i

This paper considers and analyses the idea propounded by Iain McGilchrist that the foundation of Western rationalism is the dominance of the left side of the brain and that this occurred first in ancient Greece. It argues that the transformation that occurred in Greece, as part of a more widespread transformation that is sometimes termed the Axial Age, was, at least in part, connected to the emergence of literacy which transformed the workings of the human brain. This transformation was not uniform and took different forms in different civilisations, including China and India. The emergence of

AbstractPhenomenology, particularly as developed by Merleau-Ponty, primarily concerns how human beings perceive and act towards the world they encounter, their lifeworld.

Exploring the overlap between the two disciplines requires a fuller understanding of how human perception has evolved to become so very different from that of animals.
