Könnerschaft und implizites Wissen

Why and to what extent do experts know more than they know to say? How is this implicit knowledge structured? And how can knowledge that cannot be expressed in language be communicated? In the attempt to answer these questions, not only one of the first fundamental reconstructions of Polanyi's tacit knowing concept in the German-speaking world emerges, but also a multi-faceted picture of the acquisition and internal structures of experiential knowledge. This fourth edition takes into account more recent literature on the topic. Together with the collection of essays Das Schweigen der Könner (The Silence of the Experts) published by the same publisher, the work comprehensively maps the tacit knowing view developed by the author over the past twenty years.
