In “Wholeness and the Implicate Order,” physicist and philosopher David Bohm explores the concept of wholeness in quantum theory. He proposes a new model of reality, the “implicate order,” where everything is enfolded into everything else. This contrasts with the traditional “explicate order” where things are seen as separate and distinct. Bohm argues that the implicate order can better explain the strange phenomena observed in quantum physics. He also extends this concept to consciousness, suggesting that the mind and the physical world are not separate but are enfolded in the same universal process. The book is a profound exploration of the nature of reality, challenging our conventional understanding of the world and ourselves. It invites readers to look beyond the surface of things and perceive the deeper order that underlies all existence.
Wholeness And The Implicate Order
This book explores the concept of wholeness and the idea that reality is not fundamentally made up of separate parts, but rather is an undivided whole that enfolds everything in existence. It examines the implications of this concept for our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
