1. 1. Reconsidering Michael Polanyi's Philosophy

   

   This book revisits and reassesses Michael Polanyi’s thought, centering on his notion of tacit knowledge and the personal, fiduciary dimensions of knowing, and argues for their continued relevance to contemporary debates in epistemology and the philosophy of science. Contributors clarify misconceptions, situate his work historically, and explore how his emphasis on embodied, background knowing affects understandings of scientific practice, expertise, and social epistemic institutions. Combining critical appraisal with constructive extension, the volume both defends core insights and proposes revisions that connect Polanyi’s ideas to issues of objectivity, values, and democratic knowledge formation.
