Science, Order, and Creativity: A Dramatic New Look at the Creative Roots of Science and Life

I am an artist. This book was very challenging for me. The first couple of chapters talk about the hierarchical mind set of the scientific community. It's a bit of a slog but once you get past the critique, the book becomes very rewarding. The discussion of the way things are ordered and perceived is amazing! The authors go into clear and detailed discussions about the two camps of quantum theory and their positions. There are mathematical, philosophical, theoretical and allegorical discussions throughout. There are discussions about the Fourier number that musicians will be familiar with and the discussion of the madelbrot set and fractals is the best explanation I've ever read. indeed the whole book answers many questions that a lay person might have about what the specifics of discourse are in the current scientifi community. This book will reorder your perception of the world!

Great read for creative workers

This book made me happy when I read it, definitely a guilty pleasure.

Great service! A+++++ The book arrived right on time. These people changed my life. What would I do without them?

David Bohm ignores the "usual" approaches to the investigation of fundamental questions in science, in fact in human life in general, and always provides a fresh and creative perspective. In this book he looks at the idea of order in the universe and the mind as well as the basis of creativity in human thought. Instead of assuming that order has already been understood as it is often portrayed in the popular science press he unveils the ideas of degree and levels of order and sidesteps the seemingly antagonistic concepts of order and disorder (the approach used by a mind whose thinking is habitualised by anaytical thinking of the world into separate and distinct pieces). He avoids this routine type of thinking and draws forth fascinating concepts giving a basis for a new science of order and a whole new way of "seeing" the creative mind. It is unfortunate that Bohm's thinking is generally ignored by mainstream scientists who could gain astonishing insight from such new ideas about creativity, the mind and order. As the new science of chaos has shown it is possible to engender a whole new science using a fresh approach, Bohm once again demonstrates this ability whole heartedly.

A classic.

Some amazing scientific paradoxes and phenomena. Seems to beat around the bush by stating the same thing iv different ways. Must be read with other books on the subject to broaden the concepts it tries to analyse.

Arrivato come preventivato, nuovo, era quello che cercavo

Amazing book. David Bohm was definitely a man for our times. His thinking is revolutionary and incredibly relevant given the difficulties we currently face as a human race. Highly recommend.

As Einstein proposed we can solve today's world challenges with the same level of consciousness that they were created with, so this book is for those who seek possibilities

But definitively worth to read it. It is a book about creativity from another angle, a more (meta)physical one.

Bohm's work is of the highest importance because it leads us away from myopic science to wards a world in which science and spirituality meet and dialogue.
