This is a 2 hr lecture and discussion that Iain McGilchrist gave at Ralston College. It's a partial unpack of some the ideas in his 3000 page volume 'The Matter with Things' ant the focus - coincidence of opposites - deals with the nuances and complexity of what's being said about a thing and it's opposite. Some of this is just interesting philosophy but a lot of it really resonates with current political tensions and our difficulties grappling with complexity.
