SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024
DESCRIPTION:Solidarity tickets available. Click for Part 1 and Part 2 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2024  \n\n\n\nSaturday July 13 – Sunday August 25\, 2024 The Beyond Bohm 2024 series is oriented toward sharing unique and unusual perspectives that complement and amplify the work of David Bohm. Now in our fourth year\, we are continuing that tradition with an array of new faces and presenters that we are especially excited about. \n\n\n\nPart 1 \n\n\n\nOur first weekend begins with some “basics”: a roundtable discussion of a foundational Bohm text\, Thought as a System. We are pleased to welcome members of the David Bohm Society into this discussion. The following day\, we will hear from Dr. Elizabeth Henderson\, whose 40 years of work in education suggest multiple perspectives for establishing wholeness in human beings\, from their earliest years. Dr. Henderson uses autoethnography to help illustrate the possibilities and tensions facing practitioners as they try to help children build their interior worlds. \n\n\n\nOur second weekend opens by taking us directly into the “deep time” geology of Dr. Marcia Bjornerud. Here we are asked to sense Earth through the fourth dimension of time\, as a living\, moving\, process-oriented phenomenon. The next day\, abstract artist Pam Harris shares with us the nature of her experience in contemplating scientific and philosophical questions\, and how that experience translates to canvas. \n\n\n\nOur third weekend continues the thread of artistic and scientific complementarity. Artist-engineer Cheryl Brant walks us through the unfolding of her own 40-year artistic process\, and its culmination in questions of consciousness and the living world. Finally\, closing out the series\, Melissa Nelson (Turtle Mountain Chippewa / Métis) and friends will share indigenous perspectives on a variety of culturally-oriented issues and concerns.  \n\n\n\nPart 2 \n\n\n\nAfter 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 notionof information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery session will have openings for question / answer and discussion with presenters.Tickets are available for the whole series\, for three presentations of your choice\, or for single presentations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nPart 1 \n\n\n\nSaturday July 13Thought as a Systemwith Matthew Capowski\, Melissa Nelson\, Igor Topilsky and Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSunday July 14Inner Freedom and Early Childhoodwith Elizabeth Henderson \n\n\n\nSaturday July 20Discovering the Deep Logic of Earthwith Marcia Bjornerud \n\n\n\nSunday July 21Finding David Bohm – and Beyondwith Pam Harris \n\n\n\nSaturday July 27Science and Art: Squaring the Circlewith Cheryl Brant \n\n\n\nSunday July 28Vortex of Indigenous CosmologiesWith Melissa Nelson and Friends \n\n\n\nPart 2 \n\n\n\nSunday August 4Introduction to Bohm’s PhysicsJonathan AlldaySunday August 11The Relations Between Russellian Monism\, James’s Radical Empiricism and Bohm’s Implicate OrderWilliam Seager \n\n\n\nSaturday August 17A Comparative Overview of Process Metaphysics and Substance Metaphysics & Indeterminate Concrete Individuals in Johanna Seibt’s General Process TheorySamuli Isotalo and Thelma Nylund\, with comments by Paavo PylkkänenSunday August 18Quantum Properties of Matter as Potentialities in Bohm’s 1951 Book Quantum TheoryPaavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSaturday August 24Fragmentation and Wholeness: Bohm and G.W.F.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 2 - Quantum Properties of Matter as Potentialities in Bohm’s 1951 Book Quantum Theory
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Properties of Matter as Potentialities in Bohm’s 1951 Book Quantum Theory\n\n\n\nwith Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSunday August 189:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session. \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne year before his 1952 ‘hidden variables’ paper David Bohm presented a physical-ontological interpretation of standard (‘Copenhagen’) interpretation of quantum theory in his 1951 646-page textbook.  He proposed that properties of quantum particles such as electrons ought to be seen as ‘opposing potentialities.’  They are ‘potentialities’ in the sense they typically do not exist in a well-defined sense before measurement and ‘opposing’ in the sense that if one measures\, say\, position accurately\, one cannot measure momentum accurately at the same time in the same experimental situation (‘complementarity’).  Bohm’s discussion is philosophically intriguing—for one thing he suggests that we cannot derive the macroscopic world (which we need to actualize the potentialities of quantum particles) from quantum theory.  And yet the behaviour of the macroscopic\, classical level can only be understood in terms of a quantum theory of its component molecules.  Bohm’s discussion anticipates the implicate order framework\, where he introduces the notion of an ‘intrinsically implicate order\,’ which means an order all of which cannot be made ‘explicate’ at a given moment.  In this sense Bohm’s 1951 electron (conceived of as consisting of opposing potentialites) is an intrinsically implicate order\, as we cannot manifest position and momentum at the single moment of time.  The relation of the macroscopic world to the underlying quantum level of reality continues to be a subject of philosophical discussion\, as we still cannot experimentally distinguish between\, say\,  many worlds\, pilot wave or spontaneuous collapse interpretations.  I will argue that Bohm’s 1951 discussion still provides a valuable perspective to the meaning of quantum theory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaavo Pylkkänen\, PhD\, is Senior Lecturer in Theoretical Philosophy and Director of the Bachelor’s Program in Philosophy at the University of Helsinki\, Finland. He is also Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy (currently on leave) at the Department of Cognitive Neuroscience and Philosophy\, University of Skövde\, Sweden\, where he initiated a Consciousness Studies Programme. His main research areas are philosophy of mind\, philosophy of physics and their intersection. In his book Mind\, Matter and the Implicate Order (Springer) he proposed that new notions emerging from quantum physics (especially Bohm and Hiley’s interpretation) provide new ways of approaching key problems in philosophy of mind\, such as mental causation and time consciousness.  In 2018-2020 working as the Vice Dean of Research at the Faculty of Arts he had the main responsibility for developing the new profiling area Mind and Matter for the University of Helsinki https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/mind-and-matter.  \n\n\n\nPaavo Pylkkänen has been a visiting researcher in Stanford University\, Oxford University\, London University\, Charles University Prague and Gothenburg University and was a member of the Academy of Finland Center of Excellence in the Philosophy of Social Sciences (TINT). https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/paavo-pylkkänen/publications/
