Democracy, Spirit, and Revitalization
In American Immanence: Democracy for an Uncertain World, Michael S. Hogue grounds his proposal for a political theology in a critique of American exceptionalism and its supportive “redeemer symbolic.”2 In the Anthropocene era, Hogue states, American exceptionalism “legitimates the extraction of diverse forms of value and justifies the externalization of diverse costs” (29) with unconscionable costs to the natural environment and international jus…

“Rules of Rightness” and the Evolutionary Emergence of Purpose
Michael Polanyi’s essay “Rules of Rightness” argues that for living beings, both machine-like embodied processes and informal purposeful operations are guided by standards of proper functioning. This article traces the origins of rules of rightness back to the concomitant rise of life and purpose in the universe. Thereby the deterministic control of all things by the laws of physics and chemistry is broken. Powered by an independent active princ…
My Lengthy Involvement with Polanyi’s Thought
In this interview, Phil Mullins asks Walter Gulick about what originally attracted him to Polanyi’s thought. What aspects has he felt might be improved and/or further developed? What is the ongoing import of Polanyi’s accomplishments, and where does the Polanyi Society go from here
Zachary D. Carter. The Price of Peace
John Kaag. Sick Souls, Healthy Minds
Michael Polanyi’s Understanding of Field Theory
Michael Polanyi introduced the concept of fields in the last several pages of Personal Knowledge. In this essay I examine whether the last-minute addition of fields advances his explanation of anthropogenesis. Polanyi’s view of the role of fields in solving problems and discovery plus their place in ontogenesis and phylogenesis is examined and found not to be wholly satisfactory. Alternative explanations of the factors advancing discovery and pro…

Polanyi’s Telic View of Truth and Contemporary Politics
In response to the events of January 6 and the second impeachment trial, which made clear the fragility of democracy in the USA, several scholars whose work has appeared in this journal comment on one or more of the following questions: (1) What causes, epistemic and/or social, might Polanyi see as contributing to the incivility, rancor, and division that now characterize American politics? (2) What would Polanyi say about the events of January 6…
Toward a Comprehensive Interpretation of Aesthetics
Research Article| May 01 2020 Toward a Comprehensive Interpretation of Aesthetics Walter B. Gulick Walter B. Gulick Walter B. Gulick is professor emeritus at Montana State University Billings. One of his great delights is visiting museums of art, an interest that led to coediting with Gary Slater American Aesthetics: Theory and Practice (SUNY, 2020) and to the article in this issue. He has published scores of articles, many of which interpret or …
Forms of Emergence
In this essay I seek to clarify the unruly notion of emergence by describing three distinct varieties. I suggest that it is often fruitful to ascertain whether what emerges is an aspect of the physical world or a matter of novel meaning rather than quibble over whether emergence is an epistemological construct or is ontological in nature
Covering the Recovering
In this brief essay, I respond to three generous reviews of my annotated anthology of Michael Polanyi’s comprehensive thought. Where my meaning or Polanyi’s thought seems unclear or controversial, I offer my rationale for my usage or interpretations

Mediation and Meaning
Outlining a Religion of Nature
The World Beyond Your Head
The Search for Meaning
The Bible and Ecological Spirituality
“To reflect upon the integrity of the land apart from human use would require an abstract quality of thought not characteristic of the biblical worldview. In sum, nature in the Bible is generally either regarded as a resource, or it fades into the background while, in the foreground, the significant drama of history is played out. In order to explore how the Bible might serve as a normative source for an ecological spirituality, an alternative mu…
