Michael Polanyi\u2019s sense of the personal agency of the scientist addresses this lack. Polanyi articulates agency around the two foci of embodiment and commitment. I situate Polanyi\u2019s articulation against the better known and more influential work of Thomas Kuhn. I argue that Kuhn appropriated Polanyi\u2019s notion of tacit knowing in a manner that confused and occluded Polanyi\u2019s focus on agency. Recovery of Polanyi.\u2019s sense of agency within scientific inquiry substantiates our understanding of science and complements already-existing ideological critiques of science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peet, C.
