[Interpretationandmethods] Polanyi's Interpretive Method

[Charlotte Epstein]

I don't think that's completely fair to say that Polyani has been
ignored in political science: I recommend Mark Blyth's Great
Transformations (2002), which revolves centrally around it. Or, in IR,
Blaney and Inayatullah's International Relations and the Problem of
Difference (2004)  - which has a key chapter on it.

Hi Larry!

Glad to hear from someone in the social science community who is
familiar with Polanyi.  Surprisingly, most Polanyi people are
theologians.  I recently delivered a paper on Polanyi's interpretive
method at a Polanyi Society meeting in Chicago.  I'm looking for the
right journal to have it reviewed for publication.  I prefer a friendly
social science journal.  I want more social scientists to know about
Polanyi's work.  Anyone can read or download the article, but its still
in its pre-reviewed form.  Just go to :

I have read and admired Polanyi's work for many years. His importance
for
work in the social sciences is not as widely recognized as it should be.
The
notion of "tacit knowledge" is especially valuable for a theory of
interpretation. Many social scientists commit what Whitehead called "the
fallacy of the perfect dictionary" by assuming that all we know and
understand can be reduced to a series of comprehensive and perspicuous
propositions about political reality. Polanyi is a good counterpoint to
that
fallacy.
