Inhaltsangabe:

<p>A chemist and member of a family renowned for its learning in several disciplines, Michael Polanyi experienced first-hand the horrors of totalitarian government and worldwide war. He argued that centrally planned organizations—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.</p> <p><strong>Michael Polanyi</strong> (1891–1976) was an internationally renowned scientist, philosopher, and professor whose other works include <em>Personal Knowledge</em> and <em>The Tacit Dimension</em>.</p> <p><strong>Stuart D. Warner</strong> is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Roosevelt University, Chicago, Illinois.</p>
