Traditional philosophers pay more attention to its ontology about theoretical research of tacit knowing and tacit knowledge produced by the former such as characteristics and essence of tacit knowing and tacit knowledge. These theories emphasize connotation, generation and difficulty to say clearly about tacit knowing and tacit knowledge when one is in one s condition of independence. In the context of the modern social development, society need to construct rational and communicable environments on public level so that knowledge may distribution and diffusion through the more appropriate way; promot the knowledge system consummation and development, what is more, it may improve efficiency and better effect of knowledge for social development. Therefore, as far as social progress is concerned, it is not enough obviously that traditional philosophy attempt to research tacit knowing and tacit knowledge just through use only way of tacitness.On that account, centered on core topics about `tacit knowledge and expression of tacit knowledge',the dissertation use mainly concerned theories and their methods about philosophy, semantics and theoretical psychology, from the perspective of academic and practice, the dissertation make comprehensive discuss and analysis for conversation relation and its basic approach about tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge, expression approaches of tacit knowledge in social practical context, and what conditions are needed tacit knowledge may expressed (the situation is also divided into express fully and underexpress), difficult to express or express nothing at all.Corresponds to research ideas above, main innovation points about the dissertation include:Firstly, along with three levels explanations about tacitness, the dissertation analysis specifically ontology of tacitness,epistemology of tacitness,methodology of tacitness,on the based of discussion above, the dissertation analyes comprehensively philosophical connotation and nature, and clarifies translation method of the word "Tacit" in the terms of semantics.On the based of three kinds of factor about speaker, listener and effect of expression in the course of communication, the dissertation analyes that connotation and essence about expression of tacit knowledge, and thinks that expression of tacit knowledge is, through advisable way, personal comprehension express to listener who embrace much the same cognitive ability and cognitive base as speaker, and speaker s tacit laiowledge may be accepted and comprehended by listener, consequently, the knowledge transfer way may lay the foundation for learning lcnowledge,accumulate knowledge, and become a knowledge tradition and custom through long time usage, establish a complete knowledge system and promot the knowledge innovation. The dissertation thinks that expression of tacit knowledge includes basically communication forms of both speech and written and it considers that principal character about expression of tacit knowledge is underexpression, the character reveals, ultimately, that expression of tacit knowledge is "Language-game" depended on special language rules, human-beings cognitive process to the world is deepen gradually and occurs in human-being's deepen-level consciousness by relatively stable cognitive model. By potential way, the cognitive model emphasize precise cognition to connotation and essence of expression, moreover, expression of tacit knowledge is personal highly doubtless,sheer, specific reaction to "tacit things", and discuss detailed reasons why tacit knowledge is difficult to express, that is, coverage between meaning of version and speaker to say this version, listeners comprehension way and level to speaker's expression, and bidirectional acceptances about speaker and listener to explicitness, on the based of discussion above, the dissertation provides a ideal model about expression of tacit knowledge.According to two different opinions that "explicitness may express tacitness fully" and "explicitness can not express tacitness", the dissertation introduces theories of pragmatics analysis and semantics analysis to further discuss conversion from tacitness to explicitness and makes level-differential from the perspective of language function, and it comes up with a possible approach to deal with controversy about expression of tacit knowledge, in other words, it divides the theoretical problem into four situations: may express completely, may express partly, difficult to express and say nothing at all, to some context, the level-differential opinion cracks the theoretical crux about controversy between tacitness and explicitness. In order to further explain the level-differential opinion, on the based of context theory, the dissertation research deeply conversion and generation about expression of tacit knowledge in specific context from the perspective of science, technology, daily life and literature, the dissertation thinks that it is inevitably to change greatly expression approaches along with change of context.Secondly, the dissertation analyes embodied different cultural perception in the course of expression of tacitness, western scholars and Chinese scholars embrace both coz}munioational understanding each other and different cultural characters to essence knowing about tacit philosophy. The disseutation take tacit theory about Japanese Knowledge management scholar hlonalca and Ancient Chinese intellectuals Zhuang-zi as a case to compare the their tacit opinions,to some extent, the comparative research is to lay the foundation for blending harmoniously and grasp thoroughly about Chinese culture and western culture, scientific culture and human culture, classic culture and modern culture, on the base of discusses above, the dissertation considers that Chinese traditional culture should adopt'creative' approach which take `creativity" as the core about modern transformation of Chinese traditional culture so that the various ideas promote jointly Chinese new cultural construction on two levels of both thinking and practice.Thirdly,through takes tacit thinking, tacit knowing, expression of tacit knowledge and creative thinking combined, the dissertation study comparatively tacit knowing and creative thinking and three kinds of specific approaches about creative thinking, the dissertation points out respectively common relationship and occurred differences among tacit knowing and creative thinking, intuition. inspiration and insight. Its aim is try to clarify some different theories in academic circles. Meanwhile, the dissertation thinks that main purpose about expression of tacit knowledge lies in practice of creation.Sum up, the dissertation points out that, in the face of knowledge innovative and social development context, research on expression of tacit knowledge need not only- based on past theory but also understand and know deeply concerned problem of expression of tacit knowledge in the terms of different principles such as natural science,humanities science and social science etc. so that make theoretical preparation for construct rational communication platform in social dialogue communities on different levels in the future, and contribute to profound research and development about expression of tacit knowledge through combination theory with practice.
