Summary

This book explores the central insights of Michael Polanyi's philosophy, focusing particularly on his insights about tacit knowing, which reconstructs the modern concept of objectivity, while avoiding the effects of deconstructive postmodernism. Gill (philosophy, Pima Community College) analyzes Polanyi's influence in philosophy, science, art, language, political theory, and religion.
