Resumo: | This paper will explore a number of intersections between the work of the great philosopher-scientist Michael Polanyi and key themes and issues that lie at the heart of the pragmatist philosophical tradition. Polanyi’s notion of tacit knowledge and his construction of a model of consciousness developed from clues from Gestalt psychology has a remarkable set of parallels with pragmatism’s own concerns on both the methodological and substantive levels. I show, through selective examples, how Polanyi’s work can be fruitfully linked with pivotal notions from Dewey’s, Peirce’s, and James’s reflections. Of especially importance is Polanyi’s exploitation of the analytical notion of a skill which allows him to develop a truly experimental theory of knowing that abolishes the spectator model that has haunted the philosophical tradition and which pragmatism opposed on many levels. |

A noção de Polanyi do conhecimento tácito e sua construção de um modelo de consciência desenvolvido de indicações da psicologia da Gestalt possui um notável conjunto de paralelos com as próprias questões do pragmatismo em ambos os níveis, metodológicos e substantivos. Demonstro, através de exemplos seletivos, como a obra de Polanyi pode ser proveitosamente relacionada às noções cruciais das reflexões de Dewey, Peirce e James. É de especial importância a exploração de Polanyi da noção analítica de uma capacidade que lhe permite desenvolver uma teoria do conhecimento verdadeiramente experimental, que suprime o modelo espectador que tem perseguido a tradição filosófica e ao qual o pragmatismo se opôs em muitos níveis.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2016-05-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/27767Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2015): Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; 291-304Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 16 n. 2 (2015): Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; 291-3042316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.

This paper will explore a number of intersections between the work of the great philosopher-scientist Michael Polanyi and key themes and issues that lie at the heart of the pragmatist philosophical tradition. Polanyi’s notion of tacit knowledge and his construction of a model of consciousness developed from clues from Gestalt psychology has a remarkable set of parallels with pragmatism’s own concerns on both the methodological and substantive levels. I show, through selective examples, how Polanyi’s work can be fruitfully linked with pivotal notions from Dewey’s, Peirce’s, and James’s reflections. Of especially importance is Polanyi’s exploitation of the analytical notion of a skill which allows him to develop a truly experimental theory of knowing that abolishes the spectator model that has haunted the philosophical tradition and which pragmatism opposed on many levels. |
