摘要

Karl Popper and Michael Polanyi grew up in central Europe and, having escaped from Nazism, went on to pursue academic careers in Britain where they wrote prolifically on science and politics. Popper and Polanyi corresponded with each other, and met for discussions in the late 1940s and early 50s, but they seldom referred to each other in their publications. This article examines their correspondence so as to produce a picture of their intellectual relations. The most important of the letters was one that Popper wrote in 1952, which we reproduce in its entirety, indicating his dissatisfaction with ideas that Polanyi had expressed in a paper of that year, 'The Stability of Beliefs'. In this paper, Polanyi used the example of the framework of Zande witchcraft to shed analogical light on science and other systems of belief, arguing that 'frameworks of belief equip their adherents with intellectual powers whose use reinforces commitment to the framework, inoculating adherents against criticism. Polanyi's 1952 paper and his 1951 and 1952 Gifford Lectures (to which that paper is intimately tied) are the first articulation of Polanyi's sharp rejection of the modern critical philosophical tradition that by implication included Popper's philosophical ideas. The 1952 paper is also part of Polanyi's constructive philosophical effort to set forth a fiduciary philosophy emphasizing commitment. Popper regarded Polanyi's position as implying cognitive relativism and irrationalism, and from the time of Polanyi's 1952 paper their personal relationship became strained. Discord between them became publicly manifest when Polanyi subtitled his book Personal Knowledge (1958), Towards a post-critical philosophy, and Popper lambasted the idea of a 'post-critical' philosophy in his Preface in The Logic of Scientific Discovery (1959).
