Abstract
When Fred Polak came to the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences in Palo Alto as a Fellow in 1955, his recently published Die Toekomst Is Verleden Tijd had just received the Council of Europe Award. Since the Bouldings and the Polaks kept a joint household that exciting first year of the Institute’s existence, Kenneth Boulding and I had ample opportunity to become acquainted with Fred Polak’s unique ideas. The effect of that year on Kenneth Boulding can be traced to his The Image, which bears little surface relationship to The Image of the Future, but which did in fact first take root in Fred Polak’s thinking, and was written at the close of that golden California year as a summing up of a rather special kind of intellectual journey.
