Iain McGilchrist (born 1953)[1] is a psychiatrist[2] who wrote the 2009 book The Master and His Emissary, subtitled The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World.[2][3][4]
A polymath,[5] McGilchrist read English at New College, Oxford and published Against Criticism in 1982.[6] He later trained in medicine and has been a neuroimaging researcher at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and a Consultant Psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital in south London.[6] McGilchrist is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and has been elected a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford three times.[6]
In 2009 at the time The Master and His Emissary was published, McGilchrist worked privately as a consultant psychiatrist in London. He still lives on the Isle of Skye, off the coast of Scotland and continues to write, and to deliver many lectures and interviews.[7]
In 2021 McGilchrist published a new book of neuroscience, epistemology and metaphysics called The Matter with Things.[5][8][9][10]
