Wholeness and the Implicate Order by David Bohm

Wholeness and the Implicate Order by David Bohm

In his classic work, Wholeness and the Implicate Order, David Bohm develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence, including matter and consciousness, as an unbroken whole. David Bohm presents a rational and scientific theory which explains cosmology and the nature of reality; written clearly, and without the use of technical jargon, it is essential reading for those interested in physics, philosophy, psychology and the connection between consciousness and matter. David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and distinguished theoretical physicists of his generation. His best-known works include: Quantum Theory,Causality and Chance in Modern Physics and The Undivided Universe.

' Wholeness and the Implicate Order conveys a sense of work in progress, which aims at a distantly glimpsed ideal of the unification of all aspects of the world..The feeling of struggle in Bohm's book is its most appealing feature - Abner Shimony, Nature

'Bohm is a tremendously exciting thinker, and this is undoubtedly a book of the first importance' - Colin Wilson

'I find his concept of wholeness extraordinarily appealing, as an explanation of the riddles of modern physics, and as a prescription for human living' - John. P. Wiley Jr, Smithsonian

'One of the most important books of our times.' - Resurgence

F. David Peat was born in Liverpool and was awarded a PhD at Liverpool University before moving to Canada. For a number of years he carried out research in theoretical physics but his constant desire to find a the question that lies behind the questiona led to an encounter with the physicist and philosopher David Bohm, whom Einstein had described as his a spiritual sona . The two remained friends and were working together on a second book at the time of Bohm's death.In 1979 Peat decided to focus on writing and is now author of over twenty books that deal with such topics as Jungian synchronicity, creativity, chaos theory, quantum theory and the Native American universe. In 2007 Pari Publishing brought out his scientific autobiography Pathways of Chance. Peat has also organized meetings of artists and scientists, and scientists and Native American elders.In 1996 Peat moved from Canada to the medieval hilltop village of Pari near Siena in Tuscany. There he and his wife established the Pari Center for New Learning which holds conferences and courses as well as an active visitors program.
