Event Series Event Series: Beyond Bohm 2024 – Part 2

August 4 @ 5:59 pm 7:30 pm CEST

The Beyond Bohm series is oriented toward sharing unique and unusual perspectives that complement and amplify the work of David Bohm.

Part 2

After an introduction to Bohm’s physics, we will explore the relations between Russellian monism, William James’s radical empiricism and Bohm’s implicate order; some traditional and recent (e.g., Johanna Seibt’s) work on process philosophy and how it connects with Bohm’s ideas; the idea of quantum properties of matter as potentialities in Bohm’s early thought; the influence of Hegel on Bohm’s ideas about fragmentation and wholeness; and whether Bohm’s notion of active information is a candidate for a unifying notion of information.
