1. Charles Taylor, Michael Polanyi And The Critique Of Modernity
This study brings together the thought of Charles Taylor and Michael Polanyi to show how both thinkers diagnose modernity’s tendencies toward reductionism, scientism, and the erosion of moral and communal frameworks; it emphasizes Polanyi’s notion of tacit and personal knowledge and Taylor’s account of the sources of the self to argue that modern epistemic and social practices suppress the background commitments that make meaningful knowledge and ethical life possible, and it explores the consequences of restoring personal, moral, and communal dimensions to public and intellectual life as a corrective to contemporary modernist assumptions.
