ΑΙΤΙΟΤΗΤΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΥΧΗ ΣΤΗ ΜΟΝΤΕΡΝΑ ΦΥΣΙΚΗ
Ως τις αρχές του 20ου αιώνα, οι νόμοι της φυσικής θεωρούνταν αυστηρά ντετερμινιστικοί. Η ανάπτυξη όμως της μοντέρνας φυσικής οδήγησε πολλούς φυσικούς στο συμπέρασμα ότι αυτός ο ντετερμινισμός δεν ισχύει και ότι οι βασικοί νόμοι έχουν στατιστικό ή πιθανοκρατικό χαρακτήρα. Ο David Bohm σε τούτο το βιβλίο ασκεί κριτική σ’ αυτές τις ιδέες. Ισχυρίζεται ότι ο ντετερμινισμός και οι «νόμοι της τύχης» είναι δύο αδιαχώριστες πλευρές μιας ενιαίας, βαθύτερης και πιο περιεκτικής δομής ενός νόμου που προχωρεί πέρα από αυτούς. Ο συγγραφέας προτείνει έναν...

(P/B) ON DIALOGUE
Newer before has there been a greater need for deeper listening and more open communication to cope with the complex problems facing our organizations, businesses, and societies. Renowned scientist David Bohm, 'one of the most searching thinkers in modern physics' (Nature), believed there was a better way for humanity to discover meaning and to achieve harmony. He identified creative dialogue, a sharing of assumptions and understanding, as a means by which the individual, and society as a whole, can learn more about themselves and others, ...

(P/B) WHOLENESS AND THE IMPLICATE ORDER
David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and philosophers of our time. Although deeply influenced by Einstein, he was also, more unusually for a scientist, inspired by mysticism. Indeed, in the 1970s and 1980s he made contact with both J. Krishnamurti and the Dalai Lama whose teachings helped shape his work. In both science and philosophy, Bohm's main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular. In this classic work he develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the...

(P/B) SCIENCE, ORDER AND CREATIVITY
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 i...

(P/B) THE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY
In these inspiring lectures David Bohm explores Albert Einstein's celebrated THEORY OF RELATIVITY that transformed forever the way we think about time and space. Yet for Bohm the implications of the theory were far more revolutionary both in scope and impact even than this. Stepping back from dense theoretical and scientific detail in this eye-opening work, Bohm describes how the notion of relativity strikes at the heart of our very conception of the universe, regardless of whether we are physicists or philosophers.

(P/B) QUANTUM THEORY
This superb text by David Bohm, formerly Princeton University and Emeritus Professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, University of London, provides a formulation of the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts that have evolved outside and beyond classical theory. Although it presents the main ideas of quantum theory essentially in nonmathematical terms, it follows these with a broad range of specific applications that are worked out in considerable mathematical detail. Addressed primarily to advanced un...
