Wholeness and the Implicate Order

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: About Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very Good book (due to underscoring), in clipped, otherwise Near Fine jacket. See scans and description. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1980. True First Edition, prior to the 1980 and apparent 1981 corrected versions. Octavo, xv + 224 pp., purple cloth boards with silver spine imprinting, Purple dustjacket with circle design (the jacket, with this first edition, is of a deeper purple shade than for the subsequent two hardcover versions), and the third variant is in deep navy boards rather than purple. Substantial underscoring by a previous owner, on approximately half of the pages; jacket lower right corner has been clipped; offset to endpapers. Without the underlining, this would be a Near Fine example. This is the scarce uncorrected true first edition, with no corrections noted on the copyright page (see scan). Celebrated quantum physicist David Bohm's relatively concise offering of his notions regarding the implicate and explicate orders of reality - that the apparent specificness of qualities such as location, and the perceived separateness of things (whether particles or people), that being the explicate order, may in fact be only a semi-autonomous, and certainly temporary, reflection of a greater, underlying, undivided whole (the implicate order). Bohm's thinking in this regard is part of what has led to a variety of hypotheses about the universe, as perceived by us, being "holographic". L8n. Nº de ref. del artículo: 001412
