John C. Polanyi Dudley R. Herschbach (b. 1932), Yuan T. Lee (b. 1936), and John C. Polanyi (b. 1929) received the 1986 Nobel Prize in chemistry for their contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of chemical elementary processes. Recently I recorded a conversation with Professor Herschbach in Boston and with Professor Polanyi in Toronto. Dr. Herschbach is now Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science at the Department of Chemistry, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Dr. Polanyi is University Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. Because of scheduling difficulties, the meeting with Dudley Herschbach took place in a noisy lobby at Logan Airport in the evening of July 23, 1995. ... The location of the conversation with John Polanyi, on Tuesday, August 1, 1995, was his quiet office but his schedule was only slightly less busy than Logan Airport. However, the conversations were very pleasant and informative in both cases. The interview with Professor Polanyi is augmented here by the brief speech he gave at the Stockholm City Hall on the occasion of the Nobel Prize ceremonies in December 1986.

Today's date: NOBEL LAUREATES GLOBAL VIEWPOINT GLOBAL ECONOMIC VIEWPOINT EUROPEAN VIEWPOINT NOBEL LAUREATES NOBELESSE OBLIGE' AND ALFRED NOBEL'S LEGACY By John C. Polanyi John C. Polanyi, a Nobel laureate at the University of Toronto, was involved in framing the recent Nobel statement. STOCKHOLM Some Nobel prize winners are intelligent. But some of them are no more so than others. Why, therefore, pay attention to the views of those who support the Nobel statement, issued to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Nobel prize? The answer is that one's perception of truth comes not from intelligence but from a sense of values. Scholarship embodies those values. Though obscure to many, this was evident to Alfred Nobel, the Swedish tycoon and explosives manufacturer. In his will he stipulated that his prizes recognize idealisk rigtning idealistic tendencies. What was it that led to the Nobel prize winners' statement? Not a sense of oracular wisdom but of obligation. The thought was present that individuals who had shared the experience of discovery should be able to agree on a great deal more. Nobel was right; science engenders "idealistic tendencies.'' But why? Because the pursuit of discovery is shot through with idealism. Discovery originates in the unsupported belief that the book of creation is open to being read. So deep is this idealism that many are willing to devote the best years of their lives to the quest for discovery, though the odds against success are huge.

Polanyi, John C., in full JOHN CHARLES POLANYI (b. Jan. 23, 1929, Berlin, Ger.), chemist and educator who, with Dudley R. Herschbach and Yuan T. Lee , received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1986 for his contribution to the field of chemical-reaction dynamics. Born to an expatriate Hungarian family, Polanyi was reared in England and attended Manchester University (Ph.D., 1952; D.Sc., 1964). He accepted a research position with the National Research Council of Canada in 1952 and began teaching at the University of Toronto in 1956, accepting the title of university professor in 1974. Polanyi developed a technique that is known as infrared chemiluminescence based on the observation that molecules, when excited, emit infrared light. By means of spectroscopic analysis of the changes in emitted light that take place during a chemical reaction, he was able to trace the exchange of chemical bonds, thus helping to detail the disposal of excess energy that occurs during the process of chemical reaction.

At the present time the Polanyi laboratory is studying chemical reactions one molecule at a time, under the tip of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope to determine the atomic motions giving rise to the reactive event.

12. Postmodern Ethics: Richard Rorty & Michael Polanyi 1995 essay by john Rothfork. Focuses on ethical and political aspects of Rorty's work. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Sparta/6997/rorty.html

Postmodern Ethics: The editors of the Southern Humanities Review honored this essay with the Theodore Christian Hoepfner Award for the best essay published by the journal in 1995. In this essay I hope to answer some of the charges made against postmodernism in general and against Richard Rorty's work in particular by critics who often feel caught in the position of being attracted by the philosophical allure of postmodern epistemology but angry at finding themselves on a slippery slope sliding towards what they fear is moral decay and intellectual anarchy. Christopher Norris' prolific work may speak for many who feel this way. In "Consensus 'Reality' and Manufactured Truth" ( Southern Humanities Review , 26.1; Winter, 1992), Norris excoriated the least restrained or most poetic member of the French postmodern contingent, Jean Baudrillard, for being so caught up in his enthusiasm for the simulated "realities" of computer "worlds" that he found it difficult to tell the difference between an arcade game, CNN programming, and the actual military event of the Persian Gulf War. The consequence was a loss of moral judgment. In "'New Times,' Postmodernism, and the Politics of Distraction" ( Southern Humanities Review , 26.3; Summer, 1992) Norris argued that postmodernism is a "convenient alibi for thinkers with a large (if unacknowledged) stake in the 'cultural logic of late capitalism'" (269). The suggestion is that moral judgment is subsumed by ideological rhetoric.

The Instructive Tale of Weizmann's Bacterium. June 10, 1996. An excerpt from the keynote address to the Canadian Society for the Weizmann Institute of Science , on June 2 in Toronto: It was in Manchester that I worked as a research student in an ill-lit basement laboratory, with rats prowling along the water pipes overhead. These rats, I now realize, were the direct descendants of those who some 40 years earlier had looked down on a young scientist more skillful than me, who arrived there in the summer of 1904 from the University of Geneva to conduct experiments in the same basement. His name was Chaim Weizmann. A factual account of Weizmann's Manchester days is to be found in Lionel Davidson's The Sun Chemist. He was a refugee, of a sort, from Switzerland, in flight from a situation in which he was engaged to one young woman while in love with another. After a decent interval in Manchester he solved the problem by inviting the second lady, Vera, to join him there as his wife. Through this he acquired a scientist brother-in-law in Paris, with a professional interest in fermentation. His imagination stimulated, Mr. Weizmann, a synthetic organic chemist, decided to find out how good bacteria might be at synthetic organic chemistry. He soon found that they were a lot more skillful than him. They were able to make something called butyl alcohol out of sugar. Weizmann took this amazing finding to his boss, the august Professor William Henry Perkin. Perkin, who was not given to jokes, was moved on this occasion to make a pun: "Your butyl alcohol is a futile alcohol. Pour it down the sink," he advised.
