Brief Summary of the book
This book tends to drive for social and moral progress
The reorientation of knowing will be found in the nature of discovery
Do we really make ourselves?
Foundations of our culture are nearly destroyed.
Lost ground's of man's spiritual existence.
The modern mind is a body of ideas, having their origin in thought.
What is most tangible and material?
Scientific image of the world.

Chapter 1
Creating development of natural science.
Dynamo- Objective coupling: (moral inversion) is an obligation to seek and to submit to the truth (culturally formed, external and arbitrary)
Truth: Could be objectively demonstrated
Achieve control over situations confronting them.
Objective ideal of knowledge/ establishment of Utopia already conceived and waiting.
Moral force of inmorality.
World views that treat persons as things.
Human growth and development and the scientific understanding of nature- form threat to our existence cling to humanitarian visions- we have to believe in the value and power of ideas that are traditional and trascendent.
Fact for responsible commitment.
The Enlightenement posession of a new view of the world/ new confidence
Moral and Rational approach to problems
Humans are separated from themselves between moral obligation and moral skepticism- mechanical view of reality.
Does genuine knowledge proceed from doubt?
Seeing of a pattern is the outcome of an intentional effort of the person to find order in reality.
Discovery is the point within science itself that leads to a truer understanding of knowledge and of ourselves as persons.
Habitual method of doubt. Reality through experience. Seek truth constructively, reverence. Bewitched: no use of reason. Sway: influence
blind belief, real look of the experience and actions of scientists.
"Science is our way of knowledge"
Philosophy of science
What's the difference between philosophy and scientific method?
Creative imagination comes before rigorous. The most dangerous problem is the dogma in the minds of the scientists.

Chapter 2
Complexity: Goes beyond the range of exactitude.
Inexact ideas.
Utilitarian: positivism
Polanyi takes the way, the method inheritents of moral and intellectual habits.
It is not the result, but the how.
Hypothesis: end of science is the truth
Standard of scientific way. Goverment of science
How there can be consensus in science?
Planned science is death to new discoveries
Pure scientific research: spontaneous curiosity without guidance.
Self government possible by a set of shared beliefs
Pursue his or her own lines of inquiry
Learning is unplanned
Questions of substance.
Nature of knowledge and of the good
Method of science is of constant inquiry
Result of science as objective (dogma) Ideal, left scientific way of reality. Always in the race of finding truth.
Rules not useful if there's not an art of application (creative)
Human self understanding is inseparable from culture.
Rules that are followed, become good habits
Skill into looking to the unknown.
Method of documentation:
1. Standards and materials. Internalize of importance of documenting. Publish (for others to contribute) to community. Truer understanding of your own knowledge task: how to contribute to a larger piece of idea. Publishing phenomena can be put in a good use to raise the standards higher.

Chapter 3
Tradition conscience of the community
Scientific innovation- continuity- general unanimity= republic of science
Obtaining truth by:
FREE discussion and Free inquiry- No central authority
Reality of truth and in our obligation and capacity to discover it.
Humans can recognize and share a rational and universal standard.
General Epistemological reform
Certainty
Personal coefficients of knowledge functioning through a structure of tacit activities are the most dominant and essential part.
Personal knowledge: true knowledge is deemed universally established objective.
Knowing: active comprehension of the things known, an actions that requiere skills subsidiarily aware
Focal awareness
Comprehension: responsible act claiming universal validity.
Personal knowledge: is an intellectual commitment and inherently hazardous.
Society of explorers: The art of knowing is demonstrative and indicative
The tacit component is analytical. Prearticulate components of intelligence?
The justification of personal knowledge seeking to know with universal intent-condition- calling of human nature.
Knowing and Being
Reflection of structure of being
explicit element- tacit element- integration and meaning= conscious person
Tacit dimension.
Natural in science- transnatural in humanity. Establishment of new paradigm is a moment of synthesis and originality. All knowledge revolve around the responsible person
Central role of the whole person concurrence of events= new theory
The success of science is in its training to pay attention to c lues that are important.
we perform many fears of integration without being aware that we are doing them knowing is a type of tacit integration of clues into meaning.
Someone has to find their joint in significance. There can be order of the highest complexity spontaneously achieved by internal mutual adjustment- creative intellectual endeavour.
Art of Guessing:
Spontaneous equilibrations of visual clues. Outcome of an active shaping of experience performed in the pursuit of knowledge from the structure
Sensation- hold his attention "subject is attending to"
Subject has to rely upon this experienced but undefined pattern= knowledge.
Structure of knowing
1. Focal target (problem)
2.We have clues (subsidiary awareness)
Clues have meaning, they function as a part of something other than themselves alone.
3.Process of inference
Meaning of the pictures is not objective
We participate in, we interiorize clues and form integrations that remain with us to various degrees
Trust the clues given in order to have knowledge
Focal awareness: distal term (away from center) Things we rely are close (interiorized)
Subsidiary: proximal term guide us to integration of a coherent pattern
Active, functional, positional character of the elements of knowing
object- knower
The intuitive flash springs from our subsidiary awareness which has served to orient us toward new understanding.
Indwelling: Our body is the instrument by which we know the world.
Phenomenal aspect; Semantic aspect Ontological aspect: connecting of proximal terms with distal terms, new horizon opens. Perceive the same pattern without finding the same meaning. Tacit knowledge guides us to comprehension of something real= universal.

Chapter 4
Heuristic philosophy (to find or discover)
Finding, discovering, growing, expanding, enriching is constant
Unending task of pursuing meaning and truth
Discovery and exploration
Humanity that is free to be creative
Science and Reality
reality is not explicitly definable
1. refers to no chance of configuration of things, manifest itself in numberless ways
2. It exists independent of our existence, consquences never fully predicted.
Awareness
Subsidiary and Focal
Intelligible pattern
Interplay between imagination and intuition
Scientific inquiry begins with anticipatory
Intuition (Sa), A skill for guessing with a reasonable chance of guessing right, a skill guidance by an innate sensibility to coherence, improved by schooling.
Imagination: All thoughts of things that are not yet present- or perhaps never to be present.
1st step: deliberate act of the imagination questing for the hidden reality suggested by the ISA.
2nd step: Spontaneous effort of the creative intuition groping toward integration.
Scientific validity of truthfulness is as appraisal of the bearing on reality of an idea independent of its tacit foundations.
Act of personal judgement
Prearticulate intelligence
Self set stanadrds interrelated to the environment around organisms, appraisal of conditions,
Growth of three levels: Primordial, Vegetative, Commitment of a center of being, of function and growth.
Primitive: appraisal by an organism with an active- perceptive center
Responsible: appraisal by a consciously deliberating person
Called upon our nature to search for the truth and to state our findings
Relying upon ourselves and achievements of culture. Whatever knowledge we accept as truth carries always our judgement. That it fulfills our universal intent
The way we know turns out to be the structure of our being
We are in a world of knowledge without genuine knowers, a situation of absurdity.
Tacit knowing: is the way a coherent knowledge of something is achieved by our relying on one level. SA, for attending focal awareness, voice, words, sentences, style and literary composition.
Marginal control: influence exerted by a higher level of principles upon the particulars forming it.
Dual control: Loss of importance levels of reality, atomic particles.
Living individuality is a hierarchy of levels
Integral awareness:
Knowledge: Impersonal, detached, led to questioning of all traditional authority "man makes himself" disagrees.
One does not start from absolute zero.- metaphor- art: ability to carry us away and as an integration of incompatibles.
World of nature: Detaches and distorts emotion and imagination: awareness of frame highest obligations and understandings rooted in our tacit knowing.
Self given integrations means human rise beyond prearticulate thoughts of animals.
Heuristic field: how we gain and hold knowledge, by our attraction to what's real.
Sovereign is the persuit of truth freed from the objective ideal and able to rely upon the frailties and strenghts of its traditions, heroes in an unlimited expedition into ranges of reality. Vocation of our culture, midst of potential discoveries. Integration, intelligence, understanding.

Chapter 6
THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF MICHAEL POLANYI
It was a new paradigm it expresses the configuration of beliefs, values and techniques by which normal science is pursued.
Old paradigm tried to understand the nature of inference and reasoning without including the central role of the whole person.
Tacit integration: Carry us to look at a new structure for understanding knowing it involves the person in the achievement of knowledge find joint significance.
Gestalt psychology provided the key to how science makes discoveries and led to Polanyi's new theory (descentralized control)
Tacit dimension: Knowledge we can't tell. Active shaping of experience performed in the pursuit of knowledge.
What the subject is attending to, subject has to rely upon.
1. Focal target
2. clues (subsidiary aware)
3. Person who links our focal target with subsidiary awareness
Process of inference
DRAWINGS:
1. We know more than we can tell: Peak of an iceberg, what we call knowledge it's hidden part is what has always been there, because its hidden from our direct view.
2. We know by relying on Subsidiary Awareness and by attending to Focal Awareness: Hazard involved in our knowledge. Risk to take clues that have been given to us in order to have knowledge. There's no way of avoiding the risk: try to act responsibly with universal intent. Structure itself FA- distal. Things which we rely are close, internalized. SA- Proximal term. Meaning cannot be dichotomized between the object and the knower nor reduced merely to the object.
3. Indwelling: Subsidiary awareness functions to guide us to the integration of a coherent pattern. Intuitive flash springs from our SA which has served us to orient us toward new understanding body instrument which we know the world How we use it to attend from it to things outside ourselves.
4. Subsidiary particulars appear in the phenomenon of the pattern they produce: Phenomenal structure of knowing we are beholding the phenomenon of SP in their joint appearance. Form of integration is rooted in tacit knowing.
5. Subsidiary Particular and awareness bear on what they mean: Different person's may perceive the same pattern without finding the same meaning (integration of clues into a patter that gives meaning shows the semantic aspect of knowing that depends upon our tacit dimension knowledge) Meaning lies in the distal term
6. Tacit knowing guides us to comprehension of something real: Our integrations are toward things that are universal. Tacit feats of knowing leds to pattern, meaning and reality. The sum of the clues guides us toward a deeper truth about the structure of our existence. Pattern and meaning= new ways of discovering new features of reality.

Strive for integration, intelligence and understanding
Rely upon our powers, rational and passional and acknowledge the limits of all our powers.
Responsability of seeking truth and stating our findings. Conciousness in the making whole field of disciplines.
What is the analytical philosophy?
Deep problems of all knowledge, ambiguity of language. mEANING TO USE
Understanding of mind, behavior, solipsusm (self is all that can be known to exist)
Mental is in the physical
Knowledge and language are characterized by social encounter and interaction.
The empirical and natural world teached us our limits, accept a grace that enables us to live.
Creative personal role in knowledge= rise of human life and evolution. Force of indivuation in the process of life.
(Nash)... The necessity of skill in applying any rule or fomalism, and the limitations of "concurrence" in determining scientific truth.
Natural science is based upon the largely-shared common understanding and practice of scientists stratified universe?
Republic of Science: self coordinated system of activities that sustains and regulates high professional standards. Find a way of creative endeavor and development- free society.
Problems with natural law?
What's in the nature of scientific knowing that leads the creative and original mind to hold to a new grasp of reality that appears at odds with the established paradigm.
New theory of knowledge which allows a risk of failure. Personal Knowledge and Tacit knowing
Awareness and response
We instruments of our knowing in the universe. Acceptance of the choice.

Chapter 8
Main influence of science upon us is through the impact of science upon our imagination and world view. World greatest changes have come through the ways we have come to believe and think.
Scientific based culture is unable to inspire and direct its destiny.
Creative relationship between tradition and innovation from traditional frameworks with the acquisition of new knowledge.
Science and nature have relationships of communion and of integration.
Joining human creativity in science with all the other arts of humanity.
Act of human responsibility
Major issue in our knowledge it is the dichotomazing of the knower and the known and the denigration of the knower at the expense of the known. Separation of knowing and being (overcome) He ends the need for dichotomies in all forms of knowing. The highest standards allow humans to become the highest persons.
Issues of moral ethics pruporse and standards are present in Polanyi's philosophy.
Unparallel moral zeal has contributed to our destructiveness.
"Ideal perfection"- suffocating misconception of reality/ universe.
Components of belief and doubt.
Problem of humanity is the problem of a type historical consciousness and of authority. Face of risk- scientific outlook and the objective ideal.
Physics and chemistry of the materials give boundary conditions that are harnessed by the architect. and so on to the building of a community.
Relying upon our subsidiary conditions awareness, we are able to open to hopes and intimations of our focal awareness for a more universal and profound grasp of reality.
Plan and guide social change. Nature is our name
We are modified, changed, and directed by the outcomes of our beliefs with a hunger for truth, for a contact with reality that is more universal more satisfying to out total selves and history.
Scientific discovery: a permanent fusion of matrices of thought previously believed to be incompatible- paradox resolved (scientific discovery) Comic discovery: paradox stated.
Defeat of habit by originality- it is an act of liberation.
The creative act by connecting previously unrelated dimensions of experience, enables him to attain to a higher level of mental evolution
