Lance, When did Polanyi become
unemployed? (..Polanyi must've had some connections--eh(?); Bill said that he
"had" a job:)
I can supply infor concerning the Polanyi /
Torrance connection if anyone wants it. Lance

<<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.>>

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:)
