Michael Polanyi on the Education and Knowledge of Scientists.
Jacobs, Struan
Science and Education, v9 n3 p309-20 May 2000
Explains why teachers addressing the nature of science should know the work of Michael Polanyi. Outlines Polanyi's intellectual career and examines his ideas on the education of scientists, research, and knowledge. Polanyi presaged Kuhn, Feyerabend, and the constructivists, yet insisted that science produces true knowledge about reality. (Contains 29 references.) (Author/WRM)
