Bortoft completou seus estudos na Universidade de Hull,[3] com pesquisas de pós-graduação sobre os fundamentos da mecânica quântica no Birkbeck College, onde o físico teórico David Bohm o introduziu no problema do holismo (wholeness) em teoria quântica. Trabalhou em seguida com John G. Bennett sobre a sistemática de Bennett. O resultado deste trabalho foi publicado em Systematics: The Journal of the Institute for the Comparative Study of History, Philosophy and the Sciences.
Bortoft lecionou física no Schumacher College. Apresentou diversas palestras e seminários no Reino Unido e Estados Unidos sobre o trabalho científico de Johann Wolfgang von Goethe e sobre o desenvolvimento da ciência moderna.
