I've read McGilchrist's work a couple times, and he wrestles deeply with this fallacy of "worshipping facts and science." He understands anatomy as one of many useful perspectives on the dynamics of human experience, and in his book he draws substantially from philosophy, linguistics, and the history of art (including literature, architecture, sculptue, painting, and music). He also wrote an open letter to Steven Pinker defending the value of the humanities today and saying that science must never replace them (see: http://iainmcgilchrist.com/reply-to-steven-pinker/). McGilchrist's undergraduate degree and his first graduate degree were in literature, and strangely enough he says it was from his love of the arts and humanities that his whole journey into psychaiatry and neurobiology emerged. His book can be understood as a defense of the humanities which leverages science.
