Arts Symposium: Iain McGilchrist and Stephen Batchelor

Iain McGilchrist, author of ‘The Master and his Emissary’, and Stephen Batchelor, author of books on secular Buddhism, draw on their personal experiences of appreciating and practising the arts to discuss the ways in which they can contribute to our inspiration and development. Both they and some members of the audience share some moving examples of moments of inspiration from the arts. This video was recorded on Zoom at the Virtual Festival of the Middle Way, 18th-19th April 2020. The chair is Robert M. Ellis.
