Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy

Philosophers, scientists, and anyone interested in epistemology and the philosophy of science.

Michael Polanyi was a Hungarian-British polymath, trained as a physical chemist, who later became a philosopher of science. His work focused on tacit knowledge and the role of personal beliefs in scientific discovery.

Written in the mid-20th century, the book challenges the prevailing positivist and objectivist views of science, reflecting the broader intellectual currents questioning the foundations of knowledge and rationality.
