Resumen
The essay is a contradiction, of sorts. Its problem is prompted by use of Michael Polanyi?s term tacit knowing in the knowledge management literature. So the problematic for the essay is what does Polanyi mean by tacit knowing? We will attempt to dwell in Polanyi?s description of tacit knowing as he has written extensively about the tacit coefficient of human existence. He has described this phenomenon in Personal Knowledge (1962), The Tacit Dimension (1966), Knowing, and Being (1969), and Meaning (1975). The essay is an exploration of the ideas of tacit knowing, tacit knowledge, and the tacit dimension.
