The Study of Man

Více o knize

Exploring the concept of 'tacit knowing,' this collection features three lectures by Michael Polanyi, a distinguished theorist in philosophy, physical chemistry, and economics. Originally published in 1959, these lectures build upon his earlier work, "Personal Knowledge," and emphasize the significance of non-verbalized understanding in the acquisition of knowledge. Polanyi's insights are essential for comprehending the interplay between personal experience and intellectual frameworks, making this volume a critical resource for scholars in the social sciences.
