Unfolding Meaning: A Weekend of Dialogue

Rate this book
First published in 1987. In Unfolding Meaning, the author, one of the most provocative and original thinkers of our time, argues that there are other ways of thinking to bring about a different, more harmonious reality. Our fragmented, mechanistic notion of order derives from the modem conception that our earth is only part, not - as it was with the Greeks - the centre, of the immense universe of material bodies. The implications of this idea permeate modem science and technology today and also our general attitude to life.

Ik vond het een mooi boek met een mix van natuurkunde , psychologie, religie, wijsheid enz.
Het boek heet me ook wat doen nadenken als we dieper inzoomen en opdelen van dingen , tot we atomen opdelen er dan iets bijzonders gebeurd , …. Er lijkt een grens aan opdelen waar in de diepte over de grens van opdelen alles weer samenhangt , …..
Ook het ik dat verlengd kan worden , als men bv met een stok , of hamer op een voorwerp klopt gaan de trillingen gevoeld worden , en wordt de stok , hamer een verlengstuk van het zelf , ..
Mooi , interessant boek , blij dat ik het gelezen heb ,

DAVID BOHM的驚人之處在於他對語言的拿捏,它能夠用無懈可擊的詞語與句子將似乎不可能描述的潛意識的存在帶出並且傳遞給讀者。語言好像變成了漂浮在意識流的表層的東西,它與意識不斷的相互影響,創造出新的東西。這就是爲什麽語言是重要的。因為不存在能夠完全脫離語言存在的複雜思想,而思想的寄體語言的選擇則會對思想流的形成和走向形成重大的影響。每一個細微的詞語的運用和結構的安排都可能代表說話人不一樣的意識。而溝通真正的目的是通過表層的語言去達到潛意識的匯合。對於兩個心智相同的說話者,他們是能夠感受到這樣超越語言的溝通的。這是一種冷色淡雅近乎神秘的滿足和幸福。
