摘要：Influenced by later Wittgenstein’s philosophy, a group of Scandinavian philosophers, with K.S.Johannessen
as the leading figure, make a unique contribution to the ongoing discussion of tacit knowledge. They
differentiate the strong and the weak interpretations of tacit knowledge, and put their emphasis on the former.
Based upon his practice-centered interpretation of later Wittgenstein’s philosophy, Johannessen makes much
out of Wittgenstein’s notion of intransitive understanding to argue for the strong thesis of tacit knowledge and
advocates a pragmatic turn in epistemology.
In the ongoing discussion of tacit knowing/knowledge, the Scandinavian Wittgensteinians are a very
active force. In close connection with the Swedish Center for Working Life in Stockholm, their work provides
us with a wonderful example of the fruitful collaboration between philosophical reflection and empirical
research. In the Wittgensteinian approach to the problem of tacit knowing/knowledge, Kell S. Johannessen
is the leading figure. In addition, philosophers like Harald Grimen, Bengt Molander and Allan Janik also make
contributions to the discussion in their own ways. In this paper, I will try to clarify the main points of their
contribution to the discussion of tacit knowing/knowledge.
