The Tacit Dimension by Karl Polanyi

In this seminal work, the author explores the concept of tacit knowledge, emphasizing that much of what we know is not easily articulated or codified. The book delves into the idea that human understanding is deeply rooted in personal experiences and implicit insights, which often guide our actions and decisions more than explicit knowledge. Through a series of thought-provoking arguments, the author challenges the traditional views of knowledge, suggesting that the unspoken and intuitive aspects of knowing play a crucial role in scientific discovery and everyday problem-solving.
