Science, Order and Creativity by David Bohm
One of the foremost scientists and thinkers of our time, David Bohm worked alongside Oppenheimer and Einstein. In Science, Order and Creativity he and physicist F. David Peat propose a return to greater creativity and communication in the sciences. They ask for a renewed emphasis on ideas rather than formulae, on the whole rather than fragments, and on meaning rather than mere mechanics. Tracing the history of science from Aristotle to Einstein, from the Pythagorean theorem to quantum mechanics, the authors offer intriguing new insights into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks to creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself. Science, Order and Creativity looks to the future of science with elegance, hope and enthusiasm."An outstanding probe of the creative process in science"
-Marilyn Ferguson, author of The Aquarian Conspiracy
"A rare combination of depth and breadth, this probing book stirs both the mind and the heart, and attracts and inspires on many levels: philosophical, scientific, existential and spiritual."
-Dr. Renée Weber, author of Dialogues with Scientists and Sages: The Search for Unity
David Bohm (1917-1992) was Professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, London, and one of the most original thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century. F. David Peat (b. 1938) is a holistic physicist and author of several books on the subjects of science, art, philosophy, psychology and society.
