Dialogue & Bohm Dialogue
"...it is proposed that a form of free
dialogue may well be one of the most effective ways of investigating
the crisis which faces society .......
Moreover, it may turn out that such a form of
free exchange of ideas and information is of fundamental relevance for
transforming culture and freeing it of destructive misinformation, so
that creativity can be liberated."
David Bohm
David Bohm proposed a process (which is some times referred
to as Bohmian Dialogue) which can aid learning how to dialogue more
effectively, thereby understanding ourselves and others with greater
clarity, sensitivity etc. and so leading to communal agreement and
potential for creative solutions. The approach develops personal and
collective insights into our thinking processes, particularly those
where our responses are conditioned and biased by our needs, fears,
desires and distorted by our culture/ gender/ language etc.
