Abstract

This essay examines Michael Polanyi’s comments about “reality” over a forty year career and argues that there are many nuances. However, Polanyi is a peculiar kind of philosophical realist, a participative realist. There are polyvalent and a bodily aspects of Polanyi’s realism. Against Walter Gulick’s criticisms of Polanyi, I contend that a strong distinction between reality and meaning is not warranted
