DECIPHERING HUMANITY: WHAT POLANYI AND THE ROSETTA STONE CAN TEACH US ABOUT BEING HUMAN.

Polanyi is widely known for his development of personal knowledge, but he was also keenly interested in what can be called, personal existence. The historical backdrop of reviving, the once dead language of, Egyptian Hieroglyphics provides valuable insights into Polanyi's critique of objectivism and deciphering a human ontology. From applying physiognostic to telegnostic information to understanding static and dynamic meaning, Polanyi's philosophy of language and machines provides a wealth of vantage points from which to study who and what we are.
