The purpose of this article is to discuss the problem of tacit knowledge, or to review the conditions whose satisfation makes it possible to ask a well formulated question about existence of such knowledge. The author has assumed that to approach this problem he must begin from expilcating the term 'tacit knowledge' in order to expound the consequences of the meaning so explicated. The article is made of four parts. In the first part the function of tacit knowledge is presented, and especially the validity of opinions which cannot be defined as justified true beliefs is subjected to scrutiny. In the second part the author discusses the concept of tacit knowledge as it is used by Michael Polanyi, and he pays special attention to the problem of the subject who possesses such knowledge. The third part deals with the relationship between tacit knowledge and the traditional conception of reliable knowledge. The fourth part returns to methodological issues connected with attempts to define tacit knowledge.

The aim of the article is to explicate Polanyi's idea of science in aspect of its origins, i.e. criticism of Marxist policy of planning in science followed by defence of scientific freedom in initiating and conducting research independently of any extraneous pressure. The first part of the article contains reconstruction of Polanyi's interpretation of Marxist idea of science that denies a key distinction between pure and applied science, reconstructed in the second part. Further two parts describe Polanyi's criticism of planning in science and expound his idea of scientific freedom. Part five consists in synthetic reconstruction of his notion of science in its four dimensions - objective (verbal and non-verbal), personal, habitual and social.
