► SUMMARY
The podcast explores the epistemology of Michael Polanyi, focusing on his approach to tacit knowledge and its relevance to coaching. It highlights that Polanyi, influenced by Gestalt psychology and existentialist thinkers, argued that all knowledge has a tacit component—unarticulable yet fundamental. This tacit knowledge, which integrates personal experience with objectivity, is essential for understanding and discovery. Through examples such as learning to ride a bicycle or subception, the podcast explains how tacit knowledge guides our perception and action and why it cannot be replaced by explicit knowledge. Finally, it emphasizes that coaching, as a discipline, relies on enhancing this tacit knowledge to facilitate the client’s self-discovery and autonomy.
