I shall reconsider human knowledge by starting from the fact that we can know more than we can tell , writes Michael Polanyi, whose work paved the way for the likes of Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. The Tacit Dimension argues that tacit knowledge-tradition, inherited practices, implied values, and prejudgments-is a crucial part of scientific knowledge. Back in print for a new generation of students and scholars, this volume challenges the assumption that skepticism, rather than established belief, lies at the heart of scientific discovery. Polanyis work deserves serious attention. . . . This is a] compact presentation of some of the essentials of his thought.- Review of Metaphysics Polanyis work is still relevant today and a closer examination of this theory that all knowledge has personal and tacit elements . . . can be used to support and refute a variety of widely held approaches to knowledge management.- Electronic Journal of Knowledge The reissuing of this remarkable book give us a new opportunity to see how far-reaching-and foundational-Michael Polanyis ideas are, on some of the age-old questions in philosophy.-Amartya Sen, from the new Foreword About the Author: Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) was a Hungarian-British chemist and philosopher, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford.
