David Joseph Bohm (20 december 1917 - 27 oktober 1992) was een in de Verenigde Staten geboren Brits kwantum-natuurkundige, die belangrijke bijdragen leverde op het gebied van de theoretische natuurkunde, de filosofie en de neuropsychologie.
Meer over de auteursOne 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 into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks to creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself. Science, Order and Creativity looks to the future of science with elegance, hope and enthusiasm.
