<<By far, the most extensive discussion of religion in Polanyi's writing comes in his final book Meaning, written, as his health declined, with the help of the American philosopher Harry Prosch. In this book, Polanyi tries to extend his epistemological model to describe the nature of human knowledge found in art, myth and religion. It is the kinship between metaphor, symbol, and ritual that interests Polanyi and he uses his theory of tacit knowing to describe this relationship and show the differences between ordinary perceptual and conceptual knowledge and that found in the class of special artefacts available in art and religion; he argues for the importance of human meaning in art, myth and religion in the contemporary world.>> http://www.deepsight.org/articles/polanyi.htm     Hey Lance,  What's your view of Polanyi(?); e.g., interact with the google-base link/excerpt, above, or interact with whatever Polanyi moves you, with caution, though; there seems to be some expertise present, so keep your commentary as clear as possible (like I do:)         Gentleman ~ P 235     On Mon, 15 Mar 2004 12:00:47 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Re:Dictionary definition of obtuse [email]
