The Ending of Time

‘Has humanity taken a wrong turn which has brought about endless division, conflict, and destruction?’ This is one of the fundamental questions posed in this series of dialogues between J. Krishnamurti and Dr. David Bohm—men from the vastly different backgrounds of philosophy and physics. They debate profound existential questions such as insight, illusion, death, transcendence, self-realization, the temporal, and the spiritual. Though man can change radically, they say, transformation requires going from one’s narrow and particular interests towards the general, and ultimately moving deeper into that purity of compassion, love, and intelligence that originates beyond thought, time, and even emptiness. This revised and enlarged edition includes a new introduction and a previously published conversation, ‘The Future of Humanity’.
