This book provides a framework that encompasses both physics and
cognitive science - integrating them into a 'theory of everything'
to establish a basis for both our scientific and humanistic
endeavours. It explores the implications of brain laterality for
understanding the emergence of mind and its relation to the
physical world - arguing that the analytic vs. holistic cognitive
differences of the left and right human cerebral hemispheres are
key to understanding not only human self-consciousness and
language, but also sociocultural phenomena ranging from the
emergence of the scientific method and axes of political
orientation to the direction of development of conceptions of God
and the fundamental differences between polarizing philosophical
traditions. In a further step, the book draws on the Darwinian
principle that our cognitive apparatus is shaped by the environment
in which it evolved to argue that human bilaterality mirrors the
fundamental hylomorphic relation between formal organization and
material components that constitutes physical nature itself. The
logical division between holistic and analytic categories thereby
offers a principled basis for a metaphilosophy.
