Dialogues and Creatives

16 Jan

David Bohm is one of the rare authors to approach the question of creativity in depth,aOnCreativity and his text begins with an absolutely new discourse, at least for those who go through the paths of dialogue and hermeneutics like me, disagreeing with the idea that dialogue is two logos, says the author:
“A deeper meaning for it [the word dialogue] logos means” the word “or rather” the meaning of the word “. And day means “through” – not meaning two or double -. A dialogue can occur with any number of people, not just between two. Even a person alone can have a sense of dialogue with himself if the spirit of dialogue is present. ”
He will say further in the preface: “And the shared meaning thus created, is the” glue “or” cement “that keep people and society together,” is really interesting since it breaks with the almost inherent meaning of the word that is a “dual logos,” a non-opening.
Almost as a conclusion, it calls into question the converse that would be the discussion: “Contrast this with the word” discussion, “which has the same root of percussion and concussion. They have a meaning of breaking things. “I find here a” dialogue “with phenomenology, because it wants to turn things around on their own, makes sense, divides them into parts, not only two but innumerable, a great problem of modernity: fragmentation.
It asserts one of the deepest dualisms of our time, that between science and religion: “Science is supposed to be dedicated to discovering facts and truth, and religion being devoted to another kind of truth and love, but interest and presuppositions “assume the command”. “, of course, does not speak unilaterally, but of both.
Although many claim not to judge people, says the author what we are doing: “It seems that something is happening: it seems that assumptions and opinions work as a computer program in people’s minds. And these programs take over against intentions. It is as if they produce their own intentions, “those who criticize the” logical “world of cyberculture, act day-to-day in only logic such as robots, without any creativity.

If we have a built-in implicit thought situation, the author calls this coherent (I consider it somewhat relative), what we would have over time would be: “in a group that has had dialogue for a long time, so that people have made themselves known to each other – we will have a coherent movement of thought, a coherent movement of communication. ”

It is only the beginning of the book, but it is impossible to speak in creativity without saying something of the dialogue.
