"The Place of Mind in Bohmian Quantum Reality"

The physicist David Bohm made a number of suggestions about how quantum theory might help us to understand the relation of mind and matter. In his 1951 text-book Quantum theory he drew attention to strong analogies between thought and quantum processes. His 1952 “pilot-wave” interpretation developed later into a view in which a “thought-like” quantum field containing active information is guiding a “rock-like” particle, analogous to how information in our thoughts can guide our behavior. In his later “implicate order” theory he presented a more general framework in which we can understand how our every-day “explicate order” of things in space in time unfolds from a deeper implicate and non-local ground, providing yet another new way of understanding how mental and physical phenomena relate. This talk provides an introduction to Bohmian ideas and considers how these might be relevant to social scientists.
