David Bohm était un scientifique américain qui a apporté des idées novatrices et peu orthodoxes à la théorie quantique, à la neuropsychologie et à la philosophie de l'esprit. Il est considéré comme l'un des physiciens théoriciens les plus importants du XXe siècle. Ses travaux ont exploré l'interconnexion profonde entre l'univers et la conscience humaine, utilisant souvent des analogies de la mécanique quantique pour éclairer des phénomènes complexes. Bohm a cherché à comprendre la nature de l'intelligence, et ses idées continuent d'inspirer les chercheurs dans divers domaines.
This study concerns the role of thought and knowledge. The author rejects the notion that our thinking processes neutrally report on what is out there in an objective world. He explores the manner in which thought actively participates in forming our perceptions, our sense of meaning and our daily actions. He suggests that collective thought and knowledge have become so automated that we are in large part controlled by them, with a subsequent loss of authenticity, freedom and order.
David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and philosophers of our time. Although deeply influenced by Einstein, he was also, more unusually for a scientist, inspired by mysticism. Indeed, in the 1970s and 1980s he made contact with both J. Krishnamurti and the Dalai Lama whose teachings helped shape his work. In both science and philosophy, Bohm's main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular. In this classic work he develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence as an unbroken whole. Writing clearly and without technical jargon, he makes complex ideas accessible to anyone interested in the nature of reality.
This advanced undergraduate-level text presents the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts, followed by specific applications worked out in mathematical detail.
Stejně jako NULLA DIES SINE LINEA je více kniha než klasický katalog, dá se tvorba uměleckého dua Jiří Franta a David Böhm charakterizovat spíše jako záliba v dobrodružství, než touha po slpnění disciplíny klasického umění. Dobrodružství prožívané při procesu hledání a překonávání záměrně naházených překážek na cestě za kresbou, nebo při nadšeném vyhlížení chyb i omylů a jejich následném zapracování do čerstvě vznikajícího celku. Jejich nová kniha je časosběrným záznamem tohoto dobrodružství ve světě současného českého umění, není pomníkem dvojice, která srůstá v jednu mysl ve prospěch jejich práce, ale míčem, vší silou vykopnutým do dálky, směrem k horizontu. Autorem precizní grafické podoby, která zásadně ovlivňila podobu knihy, je Marek Meduna.

Creativity is fundamental to human experience. In On Creativity David Bohm, the world-renowned scientist, investigates the phenomenon from all sides. This is a remarkable and life-affirming book by one of the most far-sighted thinkers of modern
In Science, Order and Creativity, David Bohm and F. David Peat argue that science has lost its way in recent years and needs to go beyond a narrow and fragmented view of nature and embrace a wider holistic view that restores the importance of creativity and communication for all humanity - not just scientists. The result of a close collaboration by one of the 20th century's greatest physicists and thinkers, David Bohm, with leading science writer F. David Peat, provides a rare combination of profound reflection and clear exposition that can be appreciated by anyone concerned with science and its importance in our lives. This new edition includes a new preface and an extended additional chapter by Peat which draws upon further discussions with David Bohm before the latter's death in 1992. A fascinating diagnosis and considered proposal for a cure for science's ills, it is also very accessible entry point to the work of David Bohm. Bohm and Peat contend that science has lost its bearings in the last century in favour of a narrow, abstracted, fragmented approach to nature and reality. Tracing the history of science, Bohm and Peat offer intriguing new insights into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks of creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself.
Professor Bohm discusses with a group of people of various backgrounds his most recent thoughts concerning mind, matter, meaning, the implicate order, and a host of other subjects.
