Unfolding Meaning: A Weekend of Dialogue with David Bohm

By David Bohm

Book Overview

First published in 1987. In Unfolding Meaning, the author, one of the most provocative and original thinkers of our time, argues that there are other ways of thinking to bring about a different, more harmonious reality. Our fragmented, mechanistic notion of order derives from the modem conception that our earth is only part, not - as it was with the Greeks - the centre, of the immense universe of material bodies. The implications of this idea permeate modem science and technology today and also our general attitude to life.

Origami for idea lovers?

This gentle and delightful book is an edited transcript of a weekend seminar where David Bohm was joined by a group of open-minded souls to have a true dialogue about the nature or meaning and how we might explore it. The result is an engaging and challenging dance of ideas that describe and unfold a little of the origami of unknowable complexity that is Bohm's implicate order world view. It's a book that inspires you to think about it long after you reach its deliberately inconclusive end.
