Michael Polanyi: A Post-Critical Approach to Truth, Rhetoric and Democracy
听Wednesday November 14th
4:00-6:00 pm in CASE W311
听
4:00 pm:听 Walter Gulick, "Rhetoric and Truth in a Polanyian Perspective"
4:40 pm:听 Andrew Grosso, "Case Study: 'Post-Truth' &听 Moral Inversion in Soviet Russia"
5:20 pm: Charles Lowney,听 "Can Pluralist Democracy Survive 'Post-Truth' Culture?听 The Case for Basing Pluralism on 'progress-but-with-risk' Emergentism"
听
Michael Polanyi, scientist and philosopher, author of The Tacit Dimension, Personal Knowledge, and Science, Faith and Society left his home in Budapest after WWI when the USSR came to control Hungary. He later fled Germany when Hitler came to power. Polanyi saw the emerging Totalitarian and Nazi states as in part motivated--ironically enough--by Enlightenment ideals. His work in theory of knowledge and emergentism act as a response to what went wrong in the 20th century and provides lessons for the 21st. Polanyi's philosophy has been described by Charles Taylor as a viable alternative out of the dilemmas of modernity. This workshop focuses on the application of Polanyi's ideas to the preservation of a free society, and examines the extent to which pluralism and rhetoric should be constrained by a search for singular truth.
