About This Book
This insightful book by Michael Polanyi was first published in 1966. It is based on his Terry Lectures delivered four years earlier, at Yale University. It is a deeply philosophical book, full of penetrating ideas, particularly about the knowledge of the world and the world of knowledge. The book, like other philosophical works of Polanyi, has received widespread attention and has generated a large literature.
Editorial Note
Makes you suddenly aware of how much you know that you cannot say — and why that unspoken knowledge is not a deficiency but the foundation of all understanding.
