David Bohm was one of the world’s great conceptual thinkers, in the same echelon of brilliance as Albert Einstein, whom he knew well. Born in Pennsylvania in 1917, he worked as a theoretical physicist in the USA, Brazil, Israel and then the UK, where he spent his last 45 years at Birkbeck College in London. 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 had developed a perceptively innocent wisdom that made it easy to explore with him the inter-connectedness between an immediate situation and the most generic principles of reality. David seemed to be actively thinking and enquiring all the time.
