Iain McGilchrist (born 1953)[1] is a psychiatrist, writer, and former Oxford literary scholar.[2] McGilchrist came to prominence after the publication of his book The Master and His Emissary, subtitled The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World.[2]
McGilchrist read English at New College, Oxford, but having published Against Criticism in 1982,[3] he later retrained 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.[3] McGilchrist is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and has three times been elected a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford.[3]
According to his web site 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.[4]
In 2019 it was reported that McGilchrist has been working on a new book of epistemology and metaphysics, The Matter With Things, which was published on 9 November 2021 by Perspectiva Press, London.[5][6]
