For the upcoming October 2020 Online Conference, the Academy is pleased to release an extract from its Archives. This is a consideration by David Bohm about how we know anything.  It was originally recorded in 1985 in La Rippe, near Geneva, Switzerland in 1985 at a Weekend of Dialogue convened by Peter Garrett.  Thanks go to Helena Wagener (Cape Town, South Africa) for the transcription.  Funds are being sought to proceed with the transcription of further parts of the archive

I first met him in 1983, and had the opportunity to work closely with him from 1984 until his death in 1992.Certainly David was the best thinking partner I ever had. He ha
