The question of how we communicate is at the heart of On Dialogue. This revised and expanded edition is the most comprehensive documentation to date of best-selling author David Bohm's dialogical world view. Whilst the exercise of dialogue is as old as civilization itself, in recent times a profusion of practices, techniques and definitions has arisen around the term 'dialogue'. None of these approaches can claim to be the correct view, but it is possible to distinguish between them and to clarify the intention of each. To this end, the current edition of On Dialogue illuminates the underlying meaning, purpose and uniqueness of David Bohm's work in this field.

"Finally, although not a book about education per se, the summer of 2017 is a fine time to read David Bohm's 'On Dialogue' (1996). Bohm, a theoretical physicist, wrote this short, striking text in response to a 'general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale'. The book is a brilliantly penetrating analysis of the way that people habitually talk at cross purposes, blocking and distorting the meaning of what others are trying to say. 'Assumptions or opinions are like computer programs in people's minds', he writes. 'Those programs take over against the best of intentions - they produce their own intentions.' Bohm's reflections on how to 'listen to the whole of what is said' and how to 'create something new' in dialogue with others remain highly resonant." -Matt Lloyd-Rose, social researcher, NGO leader and writer.
