Body Knowledge: A Path to Wholeness: The Philosophy of Michael Polanyi

by David W. Long

Body A Path to Wholeness provides a critical exposition of the philosophy of Michael Polanyi, a twentieth century Hungarian scientist and philosopher. Professor Long focuses on Polanyi's controversial multi-disciplinary work that charts a new vision of knowledge, the knower, knowledge seekers, and the philosophical foundations of science. Long integrates Polanyi's work into contemporary philosophical and scientific discussions about consciousness, knowledge, and the role of the knower-as-person. Polanyi's pioneering work restores the wholeness of body, mind, and spirit.

Insightful with tremendous vision. At time it reads heavy with philosophical discussion, and the introduction, though longer than typical, is excellent, and in a way speaks of the heart of the entire book.
