Abstract
In this essay, I wish to suggest a series of parallels between Michael Polanyi’s post-critical philosophy and the work of other thinkers. I will use the problem of objectivity to illuminate these parallels, and will try to suggest a way of approaching Polanyi’s notion of personal knowledge through treating objectivity through the dual themes of appropriation and passion. This account will reveal what I think is a possible limit of post-critical philosophy, which I will frame in terms of the problem of hegemony. Briefly exploring this limit will allow me to conclude by situating Polanyi’s position, as I understand it, with respect to certain currents of postmodern thought.
