David Bohm’s influential Wholeness and the Implicate Order, in the Routledge paperback reissue. The copyright page records the publication history as: first published in 1980; first corrected paperback edition in 1981; Ark edition in 1983; Routledge reissue in 1995; and subsequent reprints in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, identifying this copy as the 2000 printing of the 1995 reissue. Bohm develops his concept of an underlying “implicate” or enfolded order of reality and contrasts it with the ordinary explicate order of observable phenomena. Drawing together quantum physics, cosmology, consciousness, language, and philosophy, the work argues against a fragmented conception of nature and instead proposes an underlying wholeness connecting matter, mind, and the physical universe.
