Understanding the Tacit (Electronic book text)


This book outlines a new account of the tacit, meaning tacit knowledge, presuppositions, practices, traditions, and so forth. It includes essays on topics such as underdetermination and mutual understanding, and critical discussions of the major alternative approaches to the tacit, including BourdieuOCOs habitus and various practice theories, OakeshottOCOs account of tradition, Quentin SkinnerOCOs theory of historical meaning, Harry CollinsOCOs idea of collective tacit knowledge, as well as discussions of relevant cognitive science concepts, such as non-conceptual content, connectionism, and mirror neurons. The new account of tacit knowledge focuses on the fact that in making the tacit explicit, a person is not, as many past accounts have supposed, reading off the content of some sort of shared and fixed tacit scheme of presuppositions, but ratheraresponding to the needs of the Other for understanding."
