Ok, my bad then.

Interesting that there are many misquotes on this out there. One could guess that some people are actually not really reading his work.

“I shall reconsider human knowledge by starting from the fact that we can know more than we can tell.”
That’s the whole sentence, the last paragraph on page four starts with. It is usually quoted without the first ‘can’. Anyway, the message stays the same.

Polanyi is indeed a nice read. Let me just point out a small but important mistake: I am not entirely sure but I think Polanyi affirms that “we know more than we can tell” and not that we “can” know more. His original quote is thus stronger which adds more significance to it.

Anyway, I wish we could learn more from such works and thoughts such as his. Another prominent author in this field (education, actually) is Dewey, from an even older time period. Many of his contributions to the educational aspects and practices to enhance practical learning (the now well known “learn-by-doing” term) are even to this day not widely used.

I sure had. What I learned was that I have to focus stronger on the underlying theory and my research method than I did before. I also learned that I need to discuss these topics more with other students and I gained quite some contacts for that.

Additionally I got some quality feedback for my PhD, namely I should theorize what I did so far to emphasis the research in my Action Research approach.
Detailes about my progress and all that will soon be readable here, so stay tuned.

And by the way, I prefer talking to real people… Tell us who you are!

It seems like you had a very fruitful meeting there.
Out of curiosity, could you tell us a little bit more in depth what you actually learned, from what to where your point of view or angle of attack on your PhD changed?
