Richard Rhodes is fascinating on Polyani. He viewed the physicists as modern day guildsmen: you achieved merit as a journeyman scientist by proving to other scientists you could do good work and then.. you were one.
He also hung with the economists, it's interesting to read stuff from the early years of the LSE. People get hung up in Hayek but Polyani was hanging out in the same rooms.
Personal Knowledge - Michael Polanyi, 1958.
"not only that there is knowledge that cannot be adequately articulated by verbal means, but also that all knowledge is rooted in tacit knowledge...."
Against Method. Paul Feyerabend, 1975.
"there no such thing as the scientific method and we should not impose a single methodological rule upon scientific practices."
