[online]. 2019, vol.71, n.2, pp. 34-50. ISSN 1809-5267.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36482/1809-5267.ARBP2019v71i2p.34-50.

The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of knowledge as proposed by the epistemologist Michael Polanyi, explaining concepts such as tacit knowledge, meaning and dwelling. According to the author, every process of knowledge always involves a tacit dimension, which goes beyond what can be explained by words. The work was divided into sub parts with the aim of facilitating the comprehension of the specific elements contemplated by Polanyi for the understanding of what is to know. It is understood that knowledge always involves consciousness, which in turn is divided into focal and subsidiary attention and is the result of the tacit integration of subsidiary elements in the relation to the focal element (meaning). It is considered that although it is used in several fields of knowledge, the work of this author is little known in Brazil and it is emphasized the importance of studies that seek to make explicit its approach, including in the relation with other authors.

Palavras-chave : Tacit Knowledge; Meaning; Tacit Integration.
