"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.

In seinem zum Klassiker gewordenen Buch Personales Wissen von 1958 legt Michael Polanyi das Augenmerk auf die personengebundenen Elemente wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisprozesse - auf Erfahrung und Vorwissen, Geschicklichkeit und Können. Mit dieser Intervention leuchtet er den blinden Fleck einer am Objektivitätsideal ausgerichteten Wissenschaftslogik aus, nämlich den verkörperten, vergesellschafteten Forscher selbst. Als »personales« und in der Folge als »implizites Wissen« konzeptualisiert, ist sein epistemologischer Ansatz zu einem der wichtigsten Beiträge der...

Society, Economics and Philosophy represents the full range of Polanyi's interests outside of his scientific work: economics, politics, society, philosophy of science, religion and positivist obstacles to it, and art. Polanyi's principal ideas are contained in three essays: on the scientific revolution, the creative imagination and the mind-body relation. Precisely because of Polanyi's work in the physical sciences, his writings have a unique dimension not found in other advocates of the market and too infrequently found even in philosophers of science.

Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) was an eminent theorist across the fields of philosophy, physical chemistry and economics. Elected to the Royal Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, his contributions to research in the social sciences, and his theories on positivism and knowledge, are of critical academic importance. The three lectures included in this comprehensive volume, first published in 1959, argue for Polanyi s principle of tacit knowing as a fundamental component of knowledge. They were intended to accompany Polanyi s earlier work, "Personal Knowledge," and as a...

This collection of essays, assembled by Marjorie Grene, exemplifies the development of Polanyi's theory of knowledge which was first presented in Science, Faith, and Society and later systematized in Personal Knowledge. Polanyi believes that the dilemma of the modern mind arises from the...

Michael Polanyi was a polymath who primarily studied medicine and chemistry. Precisely because of Polanyi's work in the physical sciences, his writings have a unique dimension not found in other advocates of the market and too infrequently found even in philosophers of science. Society, Economics, and Philosophy represents the full range of his interests outside of his scientific work: economics, politics, society, philosophy of science, religion and positivist obstacles to it, and art.
