Estas lições pretendem ser uma extensão da inquirição empreendida no meu volume sobre conhecimento pessoal (Personal Knowledge), recentemente publicado. Como se mostrou impossível prosseguir desde o ponto alcançado nesse livro, sem recapitular primeiro as partes relevantes do seu argumento, as primeiras duas lições foram, na sua maior parte, usadas com essa finalidade. A série completa destas lições pode ser lida como uma introdução ao Personal Knowledge.

Michael Polanyi was a polymath who primarily studied medicine and chemistry. Precisely because of Polanyi's work in the physical sciences, his writings have a unique dimension not found in other advocates of the market and too infrequently found even in philosophers of science. Society, Economics, and Philosophy represents the full range of his interests outside of his scientific work: economics, politics, society, philosophy of science, religion and positivist obstacles to it, and art.Polanyi was a powerful critic of totalitarianism and of the deficiencies of the usual defences of freedom which helped to prepare the way for it. Freedom, he argued, can be based only upon truth and dedication to transcendent ideals, not upon scepticism, utilitarianism, and the liberty of doing merely as one pleases. More radically than even von Mises and Hayek, Polanyi showed that an industrial economy can operate only "polycentrically," that central planning is logically impossible, and that what was called by that name in the Soviet Union was in reality no such thing. Likewise, scientific research can proceed, not by a central plan, but only by the spontaneous self-adjustment of separate initiatives to discover a common reality.

The publication of Personal Knowledge in 1958 shook the science world, as Michael Polanyi took aim at the long-standing ideals of rigid empiricism and rule-bound logic. Today, Personal Knowledge remains one of the most significant philosophy of science books of the twentieth century, bringing the crucial concepts of "tacit knowledge" and "personal knowledge" to the forefront of inquiry. In this remarkable treatise, Polanyi attests that our personal experiences and ways of sharing knowledge have a profound effect on scientific discovery. He argues against the idea of the wholly dispassionate researcher, pointing out that even in the strictest of sciences, knowing is still an art, and that personal commitment and passion are logically necessary parts of research. In our technological age where fact is split from value and science from humanity, Polanyi's work continues to advocate for the innate curiosity and scientific leaps of faith that drive our most dazzling ingenuity. For this expanded edition, Polyani scholar Mary Jo Nye set the philosopher-scientist's work into contemporary context, offering fresh insights and providing a helpful guide to critical terms in the work. Used in fields as diverse as religious studies, chemistry, economics, and anthropology, Polanyi's view of knowledge creation is just as relevant to intellectual endeavors today as when it first made waves more than fifty years ago.

Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) was an eminent theorist across the fields of philosophy, physical chemistry and economics. Elected to the Royal Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, his contributions to research in the social sciences, and his theories on positivism and knowledge, are of critical academic importance. The three lectures included in this comprehensive volume, first published in 1959, argue for Polanyi’s principle of ‘tacit knowing’ as a fundamental component of knowledge. They were intended to accompany Polanyi’s earlier work, Personal Knowledge, and as a tribute to the philosophical and educational work of Lord A. D. Lindsay.

Den grundläggande insikt som bär upp "Den tysta dimensionen" är tanken att vi ?kan veta mer än vi kan säga?. Vi kan till exempel känna igen ett ansikte tydligt nog utan att vara i stånd att säga exakt vilka drag i ansiktet som ledde till igenkännandet. Detta fenomen hänför sig till gestaltpsykologin, som pekar på det förhållandet att vi kan integrera delarna i ett ansikte utan att mer precist kunna identifiera dem. Polanyi visar att ?tyst kunskap? som inte enkelt kan formaliseras och uttryckas i exakta ord är ett centralt inslag i vår kunskap om världen. "Den tysta dimensionen" publicerades första gången 1966. Den baserar sig på föreläsningar som hölls fyra år tidigare vid Yale University. Boken har väckt uppmärksamhet inom många olika forskningsområden och givit upphov till en stor litteratur. Michael Polanyi startade sin vetenskapliga karriär inom fysisk kemi. År 1933, när han lämnade sin akademiska post vid Kaiser Wilhelm-institutet i Tyskland (som en reaktion på den nya nazipolitiken) för att tillträda en professur vid universitetet i Manchester, var han en internationellt väl etablerad naturvetare. I Manchester drogs emellertid hans intressen i riktning ekonomi och samhällsvetenskap. Han skrev en kritisk bok om det sovjetiska planeringssystemet som senare följdes av en serie böcker som försvarar liberala idéer, inte minst forskningens frihet. Boken är är försedd med ett förord av Amartya Sen.

The Logic of Liberty: Reflections and Rejoinders is a collection of essays and speeches by Michael Polanyi, a Hungarian-British philosopher and social scientist. The book presents Polanyi's ideas on the nature of liberty, the role of government in society, and the importance of individual responsibility and accountability. The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, including economics, politics, and philosophy. Polanyi argues that a free society is one in which individuals are allowed to pursue their own interests and ambitions without interference from the government. He also emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and the need for individuals to take ownership of their actions and decisions.The book also includes several responses to critics of Polanyi's ideas, providing a comprehensive overview of his philosophy and addressing some of the common criticisms leveled against it. The Logic of Liberty is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of freedom and the role of government in society, and is an important contribution to the field of political philosophy.International Library Of Sociology And Social Reconstruction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Endelig foreligger denne klassiker fra 1966 på dansk. Den appellerer til alle, der interesserer sig for, hvad viden er, og hvordan vi tilegner os den. Polanyi introducerer i denne bog begrebet tavs viden, som peger på, at vi kan vide mere, end vi kan redegøre for. Den tavse viden må ses som en afgørende del af videnskabelig erkendelse og som det grundlag, vores værdier og vurderinger udspringer af. Mennesket handler på baggrund af denne ikke-sproglige viden. Bogen har tre dele; først en introduktion til begrebet tavs viden, skellet mellem aktuel tavs viden og principiel tavs viden, dernæst ideen om flere virkelighedsniveauer, der ikke kan reduceres op eller ned, og sidst beskrivelsen af etableringen af et samfund af opdagere. ”Han ønsker, at vi alle skal være engagerede opdagere i og af vores liv. Deri ligger hans revolutionære potentiale. Friheden ligger i engagementet, i at stille sig til rådighed, i at tænke kritisk i forhold til det eksisterende, i at få øje på et godt problem”, skriver Allan Holmgren i bogens danske forord. Nyt forord af nobelprisvinder Amartya Sen. MICHAEL POLANYI (1891-1976) var en ungarsk-britisk polyhistor, der gav væsentlige teoretiske bidrag til fysisk kemi, økonomi, filosofi og sociologi. Blandt hans vigtigste bøger er Science, Faith and Society og Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy.

This is Volume XI of eighteen in the Political Sociology Series and looks at the rejections and rejoinders of the logic of liberty, originally published in 1951.

'I shall reconsider human knowledge by starting from the fact that we can know more than we can tell', writes Michael Polanyi, whose work paved the way for the likes of Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. "The Tacit Dimension", originally published in 1967, argues that such tacit knowledge - tradition, inherited practices, implied values, and prejudgments - is a crucial part of scientific knowledge. Back in print for a new generation of students and scholars, this volume challenges the assumption that skepticism, rather than established belief, lies at the heart of scientific discovery.

In this text, the author argues that organisations -- or governments -- based solely on the methods of science threaten to foreclose a full human knowledge of the mysteries of existence and therefore pose a direct threat not only to academic freedom but also to social and political liberty.
