Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to reveal Bohm’s ideas, primarily his notions of holism and implicit order, and to relate these philosophical views to the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, or the de Broglie-Bohm theory. The key principles of the causal interpretation, or the theory of hidden variables, or the pilot wave theory, are compared with the principles of the Copenhagen interpretation which is historically the first and one of the most widespread interpretations of quantum mechanics. The Copenhagen interpretation and the de Broglie-Bohm theory are based on different methodological approaches, which provide different interpretations of the same physical phenomena. The phenomenological principles of the Copenhagen interpretation, which do not separate the “event” from the observation, differ from Bohm’s approach, realistic in both ontological and epistemological terms. The concept of non-locality serves as the scientific basis for Bohm’s holistic metaphysics. Reality is a whole, but a constantly changing whole, in which implicit processes become explicit, and relatively autonomous and self-sufficient aspects that make up particles and fields separate from the whole.,
