By the way, What's with the rhetorical questions,
are you stoic?

HOLY SPIRIT
"So what new thing can Polanyi come up with that God
is unaware
of?" judyt
I don't think he came up with anything that God
is unaware of, Judy. But I think he
had much to say about the things of God that you
are unaware of.
jt: Not so Bill - Polyani had
no spiritual understanding. His knowledge was the
worldly kind that comes from the other tree...
"Imagine others having to
interpret what he was
talking about."
That's much better than the lazy effort on your
part to discredit him without even
an attempt to understand him.
jt: The word of God does not
counsel me to spend my time striving to understand
worldly philosophers - isn't this
what the Epicureans were about? If the Holy Spirit
had anything at all to do with the
thinking and writings of this man there would be
no problem because then He would
give the understanding.

"Man in his pomp is like the beasts
that perish"
Bill: This is what the search engine turned up
for Mars Hill. "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of
man which is in him?" (1 Cor 2:11). I notice your theologian Torrance is one
of Polanyi's interpreters. IMO time would be better spent on the
following:
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him; but God hath
revealed them unto us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God" (1 Cor 2:9,10). So what new thing can
Polanyi come up with that God is unaware of? judyt
Tacit Knowing, Truthful Knowing: The Life and
Thought of Michael Polanyi
Though largely ignored, the work of research
chemist-turned-philosopher Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) offers rich
insight into the methods of science, the role of belief in all human
knowing, and the important connections between knowledge and responsibility.
Tacit Knowing, Truthful Knowing explores Michael Polanyi's criticisms
of both objectivism and subjectivism, and his attempts to develop a more
truthful understanding of how we know the world. His ideas are based on the
belief that all knowledge is either tacit (silent and unspoken) or rooted in
tacit knowledge.
This two and one-half hour program (on two audio cassettes) features interviews with leading interpreters of Polanyi's
thought, including Marjorie Grene, Richard Gelwick, Thomas Torrance, and Martin Moleski. Interviews with
Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dudley Herschbach, educator Steven Garber, and
master violin makers Peter and Wendy Moes, along with readings from Michael
Polanyi's books and correspondence, further illuminate his ideas. On two
cassettes.
