David Böhm Boeken

Filosoof en natuurkundige David Bohm laat in "Over dialoog" zien hoe we problemen bij de wortel aan kunnen pakken door ons denkproces te veranderen. Nooit eerder was er een grotere noodzaak om goed naar elkaar te luisteren, in onze organisaties, bedrijven en maatschappij. David Bohm beschrijft in dit boek een creatieve dialoog, waarin we onze aannames en vooroordelen aan de kant kunnen zetten. Door onze overtuigingen te delen kunnen we, individueel en als samenleving, meer leren over onszelf en anderen. Deze klassieker van een van de origineelste denkers van de twintigste eeuw is nu eindelijk in het Nederlands verkrijgbaar.

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.

Describes how the notion of Relativity strikes at the heart of our very conception of the universe, regardless of whether we are physicists or philosophers.

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.

In this classic, David Bohm was the first to offer us his causal interpretation of the quantum theory. Causality and Chance in Modern Physics continues to make possible further insight into the meaning of the quantum theory and to suggest ways of extending the theory into new directions.

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.
