Although David Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics is sometimes thought to be a kind of regression towards classical thinking, it is in fact an extremely radical metaphysics of nature. The view goes far beyond the familiar but perennially peculiar non-locality and entanglement of quantum systems. In this paper, a philosophical exploration, I examine three core features of Bohm's metaphysical views, which have been both supported by features of quantum mechanics and integrated into a comprehensive system. These are the holistic nature of the world, the role of a unique kind of information as the ontological basis of the world, and the integration of mentality into this basis as an essential and irreducible aspect of it.
尽管大卫·玻姆对量子力学的解释有时被认为是一种向经典思维的回归，但实际上它是一种极其激进的自然形而上学。这种观点远远超越了量子系统中常见但长期以来奇特的非局域性和纠缠。在本文这一哲学探索中，我考察了玻姆形而上学观点的三个核心特征，它们既得到了量子力学特征的支持，又被整合进了一个综合体系。这些特征是世界的整体性、一种独特信息作为世界本体基础的作用，以及将心智融入这一基础作为其本质且不可还原的一个方面。
