Editing Tacit knowledge (section)

=== Origin ===
The term '''tacit knowing'''<!--boldface per [[WP:R#PLA]]--> is attributed to [[Michael Polanyi]]'s ''Personal Knowledge'' (1958).<ref name=":3" /> In his later work, ''The Tacit Dimension'' (1966), Polanyi made the assertion that "we can know more than we can tell."<ref>[[Michael Polanyi|Polanyi, Michael]]. 1966. ''The Tacit Dimension''. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 4.</ref> He states not only that there is knowledge that cannot be adequately articulated by [[Verbal intelligence|verbal]] means, but also that all knowledge is rooted in tacit knowledge. While this concept made most of its impact on [[philosophy of science]], [[Philosophy of education|education]] and [[knowledge management]]—all fields involving humans—it was also, for Polanyi, a means to show humankind's evolutionary continuity with animals. Polanyi describes that many animals are creative, some even have [[mental representation]]s, but can only possess tacit knowledge.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Héder |first1=Mihály |last2=Paksi |first2=Daniel |title=Non-Human Knowledge According to Michael Polanyi |journal=Tradition and Discovery: The Polanyi Society Periodical |date=2018 |volume=44 |issue=1 |pages=50–66 |doi=10.5840/traddisc20184418 |doi-access=free }}</ref> This excludes humans, however, who developed the capability of articulation and therefore can transmit partially explicit knowledge. This relatively modest difference then turns into a big practical advantage, but there is no unexplained evolutionary gap.
