David Bohm interview with David Suzuki - The Nature of Things
David Bohm, David Suzuki
1979: David Suzuki sits down with David Bohm for CBC's The Nature of Things, and the conversation reaches well beyond physics. Bohm's thinking on wholeness, fragmentation, and the nature of reality finds a rare popular platform.
Recorded on 26th May 1979 for CBC Canadian Radio, this interview places David Bohm in conversation with David Suzuki on The Nature of Things, one of Canada's most widely watched science programmes. Bohm speaks to a general audience about the implicate order, the fragmentation of knowledge, and the relationship between thought and the world it attempts to describe. The interview predates his dialogue work by a decade, offering a glimpse of the underlying concerns that would eventually shape his proposals for collective inquiry. For those tracing the arc of Bohm's thought, this is primary material: the physicist as public intellectual, working out ideas that later dialogue practitioners would inherit and extend.
