For decades, David Bohm’s oeuvre has largely been presented in three categories – his work in physics, in philosophy, and in social dialogue. In Beyond Bohm 2026, we will shift that emphasis, looking further afield for new perspectives on Bohm’s multifaceted vision. Initially we will explore Bohm’s organicist metaphysics from an experiential perspective – in what ways can his radical views on the nature of the human be put to the test in daily life? This will be followed by an introduction to Bohmian poetics – a new, multi-disciplinary theme in Bohmian Studies at the Pari Center. Finally, we will examine how the groundbreaking work of cosmologist Brian Swimme and philosopher John Vervaeke complement and extend Bohm’s diverse perspectives.
