Author Description
There are few scientists of the twentieth century whose life's work has created more excitement and controversy than that of physicist David Bohm (1917-1992). For the first time in a single volume, The Essential David Bohm offers a comprehensive overview of Bohm's original works from a non-technical perspective. Including three chapters of previously unpublished material, and a forward by the Dalai Lama, each reading has been selected to highlight some aspect of the implicate order process, and to provide an introduction to one of the most provocative thinkers of our time.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
What is the nature of the implicate order and its implications for our understanding of reality and human consciousness? David Bohm, a theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics, collaborated with editor Lee Nichol to synthesize his complex scientific theories into a accessible format. The book utilizes a collection of Bohm's essays and previously unpublished writings to argue that the universe is an undivided, flowing whole rather than a collection of separate parts.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- An overview of the implicate order theory and its relation to quantum physics
