SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2023
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Bohm 2023: Part 1 – Changing Meaning / Changing Being\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023: Part 2: Science and Philosophy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Bohm has been described as one of the most significant and original thinkers of the twentieth century whose interests and influence extend well beyond the field of physics to include philosophy\, psychology\, language\, religion\, art\, creativity\, thought\, and education. Underlying his innovative approach to these many different issues was the fundamental idea that beyond the visible\, tangible world there lies a deeper\, implicate order of undivided wholeness. \n\n\n\nDuring July and August the Pari Center is offering a unique opportunity to hear and dialogue with those involved in the many aspects of David Bohm’s work and to discuss the implications of his ideas for the future. All sessions include audience participation in the form of Q&A and discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023: Part 1 – Changing Meaning / Changing Being \n\n\n\nCurated and Chaired by Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nJuly 16 – 30\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n6-two-hour sessions \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nNow in its third year\, Beyond Bohm aims to use multiple aspects of David Bohm’s work as jumping-off points for ongoing inquiry and experiential probings. We are especially happy with this year’s offerings\, and are honored to have more than 30 guest participants for Part 1 (July 16 – 30). \n\n\n\nOur first weekend will open up significant new territory while exploring perennial questions regarding meaning\, consciousness\, dialogue\, and the nature of experience. While organicism\, panpsychism\, and temporal flux are marbled throughout the work of David Bohm\, further perspectives – particularly those of Henri Bergson and Alfred North Whitehead – are brought to bear in our opening session. The following day\, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake brings his own unique perspective to some of these process-oriented questions\, asking\, “Is the Sun Conscious?” \n\n\n\nOur second weekend puts forth multiple perspectives regarding Bohm’s proposals about holoflux and holomovement. These concepts – and what they imply – are foundational for any experiential sense of Bohm’s overall metaphysics. The various perspectives shared across two sessions draw from years of experimentation with the relevance of this aspect of Bohm’s work\, within the actual movement of daily life. \n\n\n\nOur third weekend is a bounty of dialogue. The group of ten women partaking in the Saturday session collectively bring hundreds of years of experience with various dialogical modes. The following day\, Blackfoot elder Leroy Little Bear and multiple guests will once again share with us Leroy’s unique approach to dialogue\, rooted in indigenous world views and sensibilities. \n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSunday July 16Bohm/Bergson/Whitehead: Life as Movementwith Àlex Gómez-Marin\, Lee Nichol\, Hester Reeve \n\n\n\nMonday July 17Is the Sun Conscious?with Rupert Sheldrake \n\n\n\nSaturday July 22Holoflux: The Qualitative Infinity of Naturewith Lee Nichol\, Cheryl Brant\, Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSunday July 23Holoflux: Codexwith Richard Burg\, Eva Casey\, Sky Hoorne\, Maria Hvidbak\, Beth Macy\, Hester Reeve\, Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSaturday July 29The Heart of DialogueDialogue with Jessica Ball\, Trine-Line Biong\, Eva Casey\, Anna Factor\, Sally Jeffery\, Beth Macy\, Marie-Eve Marchand\, Melissa Nelson\, Marjorie Parker\, Susanna Ruebsaat \n\n\n\nSunday July 30The Hidden Science: What Western Science Metrics Don’t Know – And Can’t KnowIndigenous Dialogue with Leroy Little Bear and Jeannette Armstrong\, Greg Cajete\, Marie-Eve Marchant\, Kent Monkman\, Melissa Nelson\, Lee Nichol \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023: Part 2 -Science and Philosophy \n\n\n\nwith Jonathan Allday\, Jens Allwood\, Paavo Pylkkänen\, Michael Richter\, William Seager\, David Schrum\, Marij van Strien \n\n\n\nCurated and Chaired by Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nAugust 5 – 6\, 12 – 13\, 26 – 27\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n6-two-hour sessions \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023 Part two focuses on scientific and philosophical themes.  After an introduction to Bohm’s physics\, the topics include pluralism in science and the relation between Bohm and Paul Feyerabend; the role of mind and consciousness in Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics and in Hugh Everett’s “many worlds” theory; Bohm’s view of the self and the observer; Bohm’s notion of an order between and beyond; and Bohm’s process-oriented view of language. \n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday August 5Introduction to Bohm’s Physicswith Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nSunday August 6Bohm’s Views on Pluralism in Science and the Relation between Bohm and Paul Feyerabendwith Marij van Strien \n\n\n\nSaturday August 12Maverick Minds: Bohm and Everett on Mind & Consciousnesswith William Seager \n\n\n\nSunday August 13Bohm’s View of the Self and the Observerwith Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSaturday August 26David Bohm and an Order Between and Beyond:Toward a New Mind and a New Human Beingwith David Schrum

SUMMARY:Bohm's Views on Pluralism in Science and the Relation Between Bohm and Paul Feyerabend
DESCRIPTION:Bohm’s Views on Pluralism in Science and the Relation Between Bohm and Paul Feyerabend \n\n\n\nwith Marij van Strien \n\n\n\nChaired by Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSunday August 6\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nQuantum mechanics is often regarded as an important case for pluralism in science\, as the theory allows for a plurality of interpretations. This talk shows that scientific pluralism is also historically connected to quantum mechanics: in particular\, the philosopher of science\, Paul Feyerabend developed his arguments for pluralism in the context of debates on quantum mechanics and in conversation with David Bohm. \n\n\n\nIn 1952\, Bohm published an alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics\, demonstrating the possibility of non-standard interpretations. Bohm himself regarded this interpretation merely as a starting point for a more thorough rethinking of the foundations of quantum physics\, and argued that what was needed was the development of new concepts\, which could form the basis for a genuinely new theory yielding new predictions. In this context\, Bohm developed general arguments for pluralism in science: he argued that to avoid being trapped within a conceptual scheme\, scientists should always actively try to develop alternatives to current theories. In 1957\, Feyerabend and Bohm became colleagues in Bristol\, where they regularly discussed physics and philosophy. Bohm had a large influence on the development of Feyerabend’s pluralistic philosophy of science: Feyerabend in fact attributed one of his main arguments for pluralism to Bohm. Feyerabend saw pluralism as particularly urgent in quantum physics: in his perception\, Bohm’s alternative account of quantum physics was dogmatically rejected by the community of quantum physicists. \n\n\n\nHowever\, as Feyerabend’s understanding of the complexities of quantum physics and its historical development grew\, his criticism of the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics gradually became weaker\, and his views on pluralism changed: whereas pluralism remained an important virtue for Feyerabend\, he no longer thought that it should be imposed on science as a methodological requirement. Meanwhile\, Bohm’s attempts to develop a new conceptual framework for quantum physics remained largely unsuccessful\, and from the late 1970s\, he returned to his original interpretation from 1952. This interpretation has become increasingly popular\, but it is not the genuinely new theory which Bohm envisioned: it largely uses classical concepts and has not yielded new predictions. Despite the plurality of interpretations of quantum mechanics which one can find nowadays\, it is hard to find one which presents a new theoretical framework of the kind Bohm and Feyerabend envisioned. It thus seems that the pluralism for which Feyerabend and Bohm argued turned out to be hard to realize in practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarij van Strien is a postdoctoral researcher at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal. After studying physics and history and philosophy of science at Utrecht University\, she obtained a PhD at Ghent University. Her research focusses on the relation between physics and philosophy\, and in particular the philosophical implications that have been drawn and can be drawn from theories in physics.
