John Cobb and David Bohm Interview, 1984

In this brief 1984 video philosopher and theologian John B. Cobb Jr. - then-director for the Center for Process Studies - interviews theoretical physicist David Bohm on key dimensions of his work. Discussion topics include: the ways in which Relativity and Quantum theory shattered classical 19th century physics; Bohm's interaction with Einstein, Bohr, Pauli, and Oppenheimer; how Einstein disrupted earlier scientific world views; time; the radical implications of quantum theory; the whole/part relation and quantity/mechanism distinction in Bohm's work; the implicate order as source of infinite possibility; religious and ultimate meaning; the problem of separation and social/ecological ills; human connection to animals and wider environment; and the untenable distinction between the secular and the sacred.
