day life‚ whether we think about it or not. They are a huge part of our value system and how we make decisions. The four discussed branches of philosophy are metaphysics‚ epistemology‚ logic‚ and axiology. Metaphysics is the “nature of reality” and essentially explains the nature of the world and human beings.

Reading (refer to the requirement of page 32) – Extract Three Polyani‚ M.‚ The Tacit Dimension‚ Petersmith‚ 1966 (ch.1 p3-25) Polanyi claimed that his thinking commences from the truism that ‘we can know more than we can tell’ (4).
