Iain McGilchrist

“The idea of complementarity is foundational in Nature. So, for example, to turn one’s back on the parts (the workings of the left hemisphere) and accept only the whole (the work of the right hemisphere) is not to ‘get back to wholeness’, because the whole is never an annihilation, but rather a subsumption, of the parts. The true whole exists precisely in this relationship, the tension between parts and an apparent whole.”
