Produktbeschreibung

The book is arguably the first comprehensive collection of essays on Michael Polanyi's social, political philosophy. The essays combine philosophical and historical approaches to show Polanyi's social thought in the context of his epistemology and philosophy of science as well as the 20th century intellectual history. This volume appeals to specialists in Michael Polanyi's philosophy, political philosophers who are interested in the 20th century political thought, mainly conservative-liberal political tradition. Furthermore it appeals to scholars focusing on the intersections between epistemology and political philosophy.
