Examen de la crítica de Karl Polanyi a la totalización económica de la vida humana
Karl Polanyi was not a usual anthropologist, but rather a critical historian of economy who, nevertheless, was committed to a heterodox anthropological reflection whose analysis was finally aimed at the historical development of modern industrial market-based societies; and certainly never avoided …

Between Humanity and Divinity: Christ Consciousness in Jacques Maritain's On the Grace and Humanity of Jesus and the Epistemology of Michael Polanyi
… upon the conscious awareness of Jesus. Michael Polanyi's contribution is his theory of tacit knowledge. In utilizing Polanyi we are able to substantiate Maritain's belief that non-thematic knowledge does, nonetheless, bear upon our explicit conscious awareness. The final chapter brings these …

A Critical Exploration and Theological Critique of Michael Polanyi’s Structured Ontology
Scholarship has tended to focus on Polanyi’s critique of objectivism that led to his philosophical contributions, predominantly in epistemology - what Polanyi calls personal knowledge; however, Polanyi’s critique is equally tied to his ontology - which can be similarly referenced as personal …

A Polanyian tack: political implications
… intellectual freedom is the creative exercise of Polanyian tacit knowing. Polanyian tacit knowing is discovery, a way to new truth. Intellectual freedom, imagined is (1) negative or primarily critical doubt and opposition to Community, Authority and Tradition (CAT) (traditional liberalism); and …

Precept and practice in science an examination of some objections to theories of scientific method
… scientific theories. Secondly, there is Michael Polanyi, who claims that scientific rationality cannot be codified in the explicit rules and standards of any theory of method because much of scientific knowledge and practice is 'tacit' and reflects the personal, unspecifiable contributions of …

What does this mean? : invigorating the historical question and intent of Lutheran Confirmation through coemergent learning
… of the epistemological roots of Piaget, Dewey, Polanyi and Whitehead. Luther’s intent, contemporary theology and the assumptions of constructivism are consistent with coemergence. “Essential, fallible and gracious knowing” are offered as epistemological-theological pillars to guide the intent of …

Socialist communitarianism and its values for contemporary society
… show this, I will use as my primary texts Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation and Michael Walzer's Spheres of Justice. Taken together, these two books provide a rich backdrop against which democracy can be defended. Although Polanyi and Walzer reflect two quite different approaches and …

The Intrinsic Activation Energy as a Guide to Mechanisms of Reactions on Solid Surface
Through the Polanyi Relationship, the intrinsic activation energies calculated from gas phase reactions have been shown to provide practical information about the kinetics and mechanisms of surface reactions. Ab initio calculations showed that reaction pathways which involve C-C or C-O bond …

Predicting thermodynamic and transport parameters for metal contaminant sorption to hydrated metal oxides in aquatic systems
… the activation energy and site capacity. From Polanyi relation, E_A is linearly proportional to [Delta]H , and is comparable for adsorption of a specific metal to HAO, BFO, and HMO. Furthermore, because metals of the same group in the Periodic Table form similar sorption complexes, the Polanyi …

Knowing the divine persons: an engagement with Wolfhart Pannenberg’s doctrine of Revelation and Trinitarian theology
… Pannenberg with the epistemology of Michael Polanyi to establish a relational ontology that leads to a conception of persons that is active and dynamic. The first chapter explores Polanyi’s philosophy of science in his specific milieu. The second chapter assesses the wide range of personhood …

The State and Industrial Agriculture: An examination of political dynamics emerging from the Bayer-Monsanto acquisition
… agriculture. With the theoretical aid of Karl Polanyi and Michel Foucault, I examine how the Bayer-Monsanto acquisition is a viable site in order to reflect the interconnectedness of political and economic forces that organize societies and markets across the globe. I briefly introduce the …

Political ecologies of encounter: mapping enclosures and disruptions in food access
… I draw on the work of Anna Tsing, Karl Polanyi, Jason Moore and Bikrum Gill, to develop a political ecology of encounter that examines the historical roots and ongoing practices of enclosure as a tactic of governance that shapes human-nature relations in specific ways. I demonstrate how …

La Asociación de Cabildos Indígenas del Norte del Cauca (ACIN) en Colombia y la lucha por la soberanía alimentaria en la época del neoliberalismo
… en el territorio nortecaucano. Utilizamos a Polanyi (2011) para comprender la relación entre el hambre, el desarrollo del capitalismo y el neoliberalismo. Tilzey (2017) y Stock et al. (2014) aportan a nuestro marco teórico los conceptos para comprender la relación de la lucha de las …

Catalytic Conversion of Carbon-Containing Compounds into Valuable Chemicals and Fuels
… nite temperatures, based on the Bronsted-Evans-Polanyi principle and the Nudged Elastic Band method. Third, we developed an approach to numerically compute heat capacities and other thermodynamic properties on extended catalytic systems that are comparable in accuracy and precision to methods …

Understanding Allosteric Arginine Mutations Using Macromolecular Rate Theory
… modelled with the Arrhenius and Eyring-Polanyi equations. These models assume that the reaction rate is exponential with temperature, and thus the natural log of the reaction rate versus 1/T is linear. Significant deviations from these models at high temperatures has traditionally been …

Kinetics of ketone hydrogenation over supported Ru catalysts
… was developed, based on a modified Horiuti-Polanyi-type mechanism involving two distinct surface sites. Through the application of surface lateral interactions to the developed ketone microkinetic model, solvent effects commonly reported for hydrogenations over Ru catalysts are rationalized …

The Phase of Capitalism after the 2008 Great Financial Crisis: An Extended Polanyian Approach
… they lived. We can think of Schumpeter (1939), Polanyi (2004 [1944]), Arrighi (1994) or Galbraith (1967). Of course, some of these authors also wrote about the capitalist system in general, not just its development and manifestations over time. Kornai's (2000a) concept of the system paradigm …

Sonocrystallization and sonofragmentation
… is a mechanochemical extension of the Bell–Evans–Polanyi Principle or Hammond’s Postulate: i.e., activation energies for solid fracture correlate with the binding energies of solids. In addition, from comparisons of sonofragmentation patterns between ionic and molecular crystals, it was confirmed …
