Ken, can you offer a couple of specific references in Polyani?
maybe a book title or better yet an online paper?

Hi Jim,
Polyani's field in this case is philosiphy/science and the goal is
a critique of pure rationality (logical positivism) and a
recuperation of meaning through myth, art and a spiritual
impulse. Not that he wants to break with rationality, but rather
integrate it with these other modes of knowing and making
meaning. I've found myself increasingly interested in this topic
myself as I struggle with the clash of cultures in an
interdisciplinary school (art, design, IT) at our university where
ideas like these are contested (not that that's necessarily a bad
thing).

What is the goal of Polyani's writing? Is it work in
AI? Semantics? Something else?
