Rudolf Steiner and Karl Polanyi
There are only a few writings showing intellectual links between Rudolf Steiner and Karl Polanyi. János Gyurgyák evokes, in his article “Karl Polanyi, Ozkar Jászi, at the Bécsi Magyar Újság”, that between 1921 and 1924, some earlier influences, as Tolstoy, Spengler and Steiner, kept inspiring him and Gyurgyák quotes a letter written Continue Reading
Karl Polanyi’s “three revelations” and his forerunners
Karl Polanyi’s version [1945] We invoked what we believed to be the three constitutive facts in the consciousness of Western man: knowledge of death, knowledge of freedom, knowledge of society. The first, according to Jewish legend, was revealed in the Old Testament story. The second was revealed through the discovery Continue Reading
Correspondence of Ervin Szabó in the KP Archives
How to explain the presence of (a part of) correspondence between Ervin Szabó and Aline Klatschko [AKP 56/02], and between Szabó and Samuel Klatschko [AKP 56/03]? Both correspondences are from years between 1899 and 1901, and letters were typewritten without misprint or crossing-outs, and seem quite ‘recent’ (say, after 1940-1950). Continue Reading

Partant de Karl Polanyi, je remonte de fil en aiguille et par cercles concentriques, les réseaux autour de lui et dans lesquels il a été pris et j’ai rencontré trois personnages étranges que sont Dimitrije Mitrinović – puis aux deuxième et troisième degrés de proximité, George Ivanovich Gurdjieff ; voire Piotr Continue Reading

How to know?)… Open door “Archives on Medicin” (Medicin or Medicin?)… Open door “Mitrinović” (and his nebula of movements including New Britain Movement)… stop confounding Ignác Martinovics and Dimitrije Continue Reading

To Karl what belongs to Karl
By comparing of Karl Polanyi’s notebook which is in the archive 07/08, 183-254, and the one that is on 46/13, one realizes they are identical. Identical first of all materially, since we recognize the same type of notebook cover, as well as the same lines on the sheets of paper: Moreover, Continue Reading
