Reviewer comment: This is the author's concept and description of how
scientific investigation and discovery actually takes place. He compares theory
with reality. He was influenced by Thomas Kuhn and other theoriticians, and
also the reverse. The book should be studied along with Kuhn's The Structure
of Scientific Revolutions.

Dr. Polanyi was also greatly influenced by his study of Soviet
Communism in the 1930's including his personal visit with Nikolai Bukharin. He
was deeply disturbed by the contempoary approval and even acceptance of Soviet
Disasterous Marxist- Leninist distortion of science by some of the British
scientific community. He argues against the Communist concept of the nature of
reality itself. His book is full of valuable statements about scientific
theory.
