Abstract
The discovery in neurology that the two sides of the brain think in distinct ways that are both opposed to each other and complementary might have consequences in a number of academic disciplines, and in philosophy and political consciousness as well. It is the purpose of this paper to apply concepts from the brain theory to an analysis of the rational foundations of scientific inquiry. To pursue this argument, it is nnecessary to take a position on the side of materialism or idealism, although the theory certainly is related to that issue. And it should be made clear, at the outset, that we see no possibility that the explanation of ideas can be reduced to a physical theory such as physics.
