Michael Polanyi And His Generation by Mary Jo Nye
A scholarly study tracing a prominent scientist-philosopher’s development from laboratory researcher to influential thinker, situating his ideas about tacit knowledge, personal commitment, and the social dimensions of scientific practice within the networks, institutions, and political upheavals that shaped his Central European generation; the book examines how training, mentorship, migration, and intellectual exchange influenced both his critiques of positivism and the broader emergence of views about scientific authority and autonomy.
