Call for papers

The Legacy of David Bohm

The Journal of Consciousness Studies plans to publish a special issue to mark the fortieth anniversary of David Bohm’s Wholeness and the Implicate Order.

Bohm’s position remains problematic. While his contributions to quantum physics were highly regarded, his proposal of an implicate order was not.

But developments in science and philosophy since the publication of Bohm’s book make his work seem more prescient than marginal. Moreover, his search for wholeness through dialogue between scientific and spiritual traditions has meant that his influence has been felt far more widely than that of most scientists.

Papers are invited on any aspect of the work and life of this remarkable man. If you wish to contribute one, please email a brief abstract to the address below.

The deadline for full submissions will be early 2025.

Dr. John Pickering, Guest Editor.

Causalworlds 2024 - Second Call for Papers

Causalworlds 2024: The 2nd International Conference on Quantum, Classical, and Relativistic Causality

Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
16-20 September 2024
www.causalworlds.ca

Understanding causality is fundamental to science and inspires wide-ranging applications, yet there are several distinct notions of causation. Recently, there have been important developments on the role of causality in quantum physics, relativistic physics and their interplay. These have unearthed a plethora of fascinating open questions regarding the nature of causation, emergence of space-time structure and the limits of quantum information processing. At the same time, causal reasoning has become an important tool in machine learning and statistics, with applications ranging from big data to healthcare. This conference brings together experts from different areas of physics working on questions related to causality, as well as selected researchers who bridge the gap between fundamental research and current industrial applications. The aim of the conference is to provide a venue for cross-pollination of these ideas through scientific exchange between these communities. The conference will focus on the following facets of causality:

Quantum and classical causal inference
Indefinite causal order and quantum reference frames
Causality in quantum field theory and quantum gravity
Experiments and applications of causality

==============

Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: 17 May 2024
Paper notification: mid June 2024
