Polanyi's Tacit Knowledge? I don't know enough about Polanyi to say with any authority, but at least one scholar notes that Polanyi's theory neglects Weltanschauung . Adam Holzman, “Karl Polanyi and the Rise of Modernity: A Critique,” intersections 12, no. 1 (2012): 91-112; see p.108 : The answer l...
