Tacit knowledge is the form of implicit knowledge that we rely on
for learning. It is invoked in a wide range of intellectual
inquiries, from traditional academic subjects to more pragmatically
orientated investigations into the nature and transmission of
skills and expertise. Notwithstanding its apparent pervasiveness,
the notion of tacit knowledge is a complex and puzzling one. What
is its status as knowledge? What is its relation to explicit
knowledge? What does it mean to say that knowledge is tacit? Can it
be measured? Recent years have seen a growing interest from
philosophers in understanding the nature of tacit knowledge.
Philosophers of science have discussed its role in scientific
problem-solving; philosophers of language have been concerned with
the speaker's relation to grammatical theories; and
phenomenologists have attempted to describe the relation of
explicit theoretical knowledge to a background understanding of
matters that are taken for granted. This book seeks to bring a
unity to these diverse philosophical discussions by clarifying
their conceptual underpinnings. In addition the book advances a
specific account of tacit knowledge that elucidates the importance
of the concept for understanding the character of human cognition,
and demonstrates the relevance of the recommended account to those
concerned with the communication of expertise. The book will be of
interest to philosophers of language, epistemologists, cognitive
psychologists and students of theoretical linguistics.
