Conclusion

The book’s conclusion sums up my examination of Polanyi as a thinker ultimately motivated by metaphysical concerns, the status of his metaphysical realism in relation to three types of contemporary realism (Ontic Structural Realism, Object-Oriented Ontology, and neo-Aristotelianism), my arguments to the effect that Polanyi is a Platonist, and my proposed post-critical Platonism.
