Dialogue
David Bohm described dialogue as one of “the most effective ways of investigating the crises that face society, and indeed the whole of human nature and consciousness”. The dialogue that Bohm refers to differs from the common understandings of dialogue, even though there are some similarities on the surface. It’s hard to define Bohm’s dialogue briefly, but it could be said that dialogue is a process that helps us to see the collective movements of thought and knowledge and how we are dominated by those movements.
Please start with this excellent introductory article about dialogue: Dialogue A Proposal.
