DESCRIPTION:<p>Thematic issue of&nbsp\;<em>Philosophia Scienti&aelig\;</em>&nbsp\;17/ 3 (November 2013)</p>\n<p>Guest Editors: L&eacute\;na Soler (Nancy\, France)\, Sjoerd D. Zwart (Delft\, Netherlands) and R&eacute\;gis Catinaud (Nancy\, France).</p>\n<p>Submission deadline: September 1\, 2012</p>\n<p>Notification Date: January 1\, 2013</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;Harry Collins' decade long occupation with tacit knowledge has culminated in his monograph&nbsp\;<em>Tacit and Explicit Knowledge</em>&nbsp\;(2010). This monograph introduces and is built upon a tripartition of tacit knowledge (TK). First\, Collins defines&nbsp\;<em>relational</em>&nbsp\;<em>TK</em>&nbsp\;to be explicable knowledge that has not been explicated for contingent reasons related to the relation between people. Second\, in contrast to Polanyi&rsquo\;s view\, which is dominant today\, Collins claims that the most famous kind\, viz.\,&nbsp\;<em>somatic TK</em>&nbsp\;as exemplified by balancing on a bicycle\, can sometime be explicated\, where by &lsquo\;explicated&rsquo\; we mean &lsquo\;reproduced with a machine&rsquo\;. After all\, we already have robots that can ride bicycles. Third\, according to Collins\, the real hard nut to crack is<em>collective TK</em>\, which is knowledge &ldquo\;embodied in society&rdquo\; and related to the nature of human society. It involves flexible and creative social performances (&ldquo\;polimorphic<em>&nbsp\;</em>actions&rdquo\;) and therefore\, will remain tacit and inexplicable for the foreseeable future. An example is riding a bicycle&nbsp\;<em>in traffic</em>&nbsp\;or dance improvisation.</p>\n<p>In this volume\, we welcome any elaborations\, accommodations and criticisms of Collins&rsquo\; tripartition and its accompanying claims\, especially regarding issues in science and technology. Additionally\, contributions<em>in the light of Collins&rsquo\; approach</em>&nbsp\;may address (but are not limited to) one of the following themes. Tacit knowledge in</p>\n<ul>\n<li>philosophical or sociological accounts of&nbsp\;scientific enterprises&nbsp\;such as experimentation\, modeling\, explanation\, theory formation\, theory change and evaluation\, etc.</li>\n<li>technology and engineering\, e.g.\,&nbsp\;in design or in our relationship to machines</li>\n<li>any field of&nbsp\;artificial intelligence</li>\n<li>education\, especially in science and technology</li>\n<li>the use and acquisition of&nbsp\;natural language&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>knowledge management&nbsp\;such as for instance knowledge transfer between organizations</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Harry Collins will introduce the special issue and will comment upon some of the specific questions being raised.</p>\n<p>Manuscripts should be submitted in English and be prepared for anonymous peer review.</p>\n<p>Abstracts in English (200-300 words) should be included.</p>\n<p>Papers&rsquo\; length should not exceed 7000 words.</p>\n<p>Manuscripts should be sent to both editors:&nbsp\;l_soler@club-internet.fr</a>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;&nbsp\;s.d.zwart@tudelft.nl</a></p>\n<p>Guidelines for authors&nbsp\;</a>are to be found on the journal&rsquo\;s website:&nbsp\;http://poincare.univ-nancy2.fr/PhilosophiaScientiae/Guide+for+authors/</a>.</p>\n<p>For further information\, please contact R&eacute\;gis Catinaud (regis.catinaud@gmail.com</a>)</p>
