In “Thought As A System,” physicist David Bohm explores the concept of thought and its impact on society and individual lives. He argues that our thoughts are not isolated events but are deeply interconnected and form a coherent system. This system, however, is often flawed and can lead to a distorted perception of reality, causing various societal and personal problems. Bohm suggests that many of the issues we face, such as conflict, division, and incoherence, are a result of this flawed system of thought. He further proposes that by understanding and changing our thought processes, we can fundamentally alter our interactions with the world and each other. The book is a profound exploration of the nature of human thought, its potential, and its pitfalls. It challenges readers to examine their own thought processes and consider the profound implications of thought as a system.
