Reviews for Tacit Knowledge
"A prodigious engagement of all sorts of relevant literature, propounding a carefully crafted thesis and defence of tacit knowledge. Taken as a whole, the book's overarching argument is professionally and intentionally forwarded... a substantive, fresh contribution to ongoing debate." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
