POLANYI, MICHAEL. EDITED BY MARJORIE GRENE. Knowing and Being. Essays By Michael Polanyi.
University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1974, 3rd impression.. 246 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H), soft cover. ISBN 0226672859 "This collection of essays, assembled by Marjorie Grene, exemplifies the development of Polanyi's theory of knowledge, first presented in 'Science, Faith, and Society', and later systematized in 'Personal Knowledge'. Polanyi believes that the dilemma of the modern mind arises from the peculiar relation between the positivist claim for total objectivity in scientific knowledge and the unprecedented moral dynamism characterizing the social a nd political aspirations of the last century." Interior - tiny # 2 written in ink on first page, otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - slight curl to bottom corner of book, very light edge wear - mainly at top/b o t t o m of spine. Very Good.
