ABSTRACT

In the rst chapter of his book Wholeness and the Implicate Order, the quantum physicist (and philosopher) David Bohm laments the fragmentation of individuals, society and the academy:

fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.
