They provide a background to his causal interpretation of quantum mechanics and the Marxist philosophy that inspired his scientific work in quantum theory, probability and statistical mechanics. In his letters, Bohm reveals the ideas that led to his ground breaking book Causality and Chance in Modern Physics. The political arguments as well as the acute personal problems contained in these letters help to give a rounded, human picture of this leading scientist and twentieth century thinker. 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aHistory 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Mind. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a530.01 700 $aTalbot$b Chris$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0959564 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254581803321 996 $aDavid Bohm: Causality and Chance, Letters to Three Women$92174422 997 $aUNINA
