Tacit Knowing--between Modernism and Postmodernism: a Problem of Coherence
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I address myself to two issues concerning Polanyi’s epistemology. The first is that notwithstanding his critique of objectivism and his post-critical perspective, Polanyi remains firmly rooted in the tradition of the Enlightenment. To put this somewhat differently, I think that although he may be regarded as an early postmodernist, he may be seen also as someone who tried to do a job of restoration, namely drawing attention to essential elements in the heritage of the Enlightenment, elements he thought were in danger of being forgotten and threatened. Obviously, this a very large issue and therefore I shall confine myself strictly to the epistemological issues involved.
