"Personal Knowledge" in Medicine and the Epistemic Shortcomings of Scientism.
J Bioeth Inq
December 2015
Bioethics Centre, University of Otago, 71 Frederick St, Dunedin, New Zealand.
In this paper, we outline a framework for understanding the different kinds of knowledge required for medical practice and use this framework to show how scientism undermines aspects of this knowledge. The framework is based on Michael Polanyi's claim that knowledge is primarily the product of the contemplations and convictions of persons and yet at the same time carries a sense of universality because it grasps at reality. Building on Polanyi's ideas, we propose that knowledge can be described along two intersecting "dimensions": the tacit-explicit and the particular-general.

While historical attention has been given to physicists who were inspired by the book, little has been written about its biologist readers.
