Viewed by some as the intellectual successor of Albert Einstein, David Bohm was a theoretical physicist and a philosopher. His landmark work on plasmas lead him to suggest the theory of the implicate order and of the undivided wholeness at the subatomic level. His encounters with the Indian philosopher Jay Krishnamurti lead him to propose the practice of dialogue in an attempt to raise the consciousness of humanity, practice introduced in corporations by Peter Senge in 1990.
