Tacit And Explicit Knowledge by Harry Collins
A concise exploration of the boundary between what can be codified and what must be learned through practice and socialization, offering a taxonomy of tacit knowledge into relational, somatic, and collective forms. It explains how explicit knowledge travels as strings and tools, while real-world competence depends on enculturation, bodily skill, and shared social practices. Through examples from science, technology, and everyday expertise, it shows why instructions and algorithms cannot fully capture skilled performance and examines implications for replication, machine intelligence, and understanding.
