Description
David Bohm and F. David Peat explore how scientific theories come into being and how to overcome blocks to creativity in this thought-provoking work.
The authors examine the history of science from ancient Greece to modern times, tracing the development of ideas such as the Pythagorean theorem and quantum mechanics.
They argue for a renewed emphasis on meaning and whole systems thinking, rather than just formulae and fragments, and offer new insights into how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society and human nature.
