The God of the Left Hemisphere explores the remarkable connections
between the activities and functions of the human brain that writer
William Blake termed 'Urizen' and the powerful complex of
rationalising and ordering processes which modern neuroscience
identifies as 'left hemisphere' brain activity. The book argues
that Blake's profound understanding of the human brain is finding
surprising corroboration in recent neuroscientific discoveries,
such as those of the influential Harvard neuro-anatomist Jill Bolte
Taylor, and it explores Blake's provocative supposition that the
emergence of these rationalising, law-making, and 'limiting'
activities within the human brain has been recorded in the earliest
Creation texts, such as the Hebrew Bible, Plato's Timaeus, and the
Norse sagas. Blake's prescient insight into the nature and origins
of this dominant force within the brain allows him to radically
reinterpret the psychological basis of the entity usually referred
to in these texts as 'God'. The book draws in particular on the
work of Bolte Taylor, whose study in this area is having a profound
impact on how we understand mental activity and processes.
