  In this article, we investigate Bohm's view of quantum theory, especially
Bohm's quantum potential, from a new perspective. We develop a quasi-Newtonian
approach to Bohmian mechanics. We show that to arrive at Bohmian formulation of
quantum mechanics, there is no necessity to start from the Schr\"odinger
equation. We also obtain an equation that restricts the possible forms of
quantum potential and determines the functional form of it without appealing to
the wave function and the Schr\"odinger equation. Finally, we discuss about the
significance of quantum potential in the conceptual structure of quantum
theory.
