Knowledge how to do things is a pervasive and central element of
everyday life. Yet it raises many difficult questions that must be
answered by philosophers and cognitive scientists aspiring to
understand human cognition and agency. What is the connection
between knowing how and knowing that? Is knowledge how simply a
type of ability or disposition to act? Is there an irreducibly
practical form of knowledge? What is the role of the intellect in
intelligent action? This volume contains fifteen state of the art
essays by leading figures in philosophy and linguistics that
amplify and sharpen the debate between "intellectualists" and
"anti-intellectualists" about mind and action, highlighting the
conceptual, empirical, and linguistic issues that motivate and
sustain the conflict. The essays also explore various ways in which
this debate informs central areas of ethics, philosophy of action,
epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind and
cognitive science.
Knowing How covers a broad range of topics dealing with tacit and
procedural knowledge, the psychology of skill, expertise,
intelligence and intelligent action, the nature of ability, the
syntax and semantics of embedded questions, the mind-body problem,
phenomenal character, epistemic injustice, moral knowledge, the
epistemology of logic, linguistic competence, the connection
between knowledge and understanding, and the relation between
theory and practice.
This is the book on knowing how--an invaluable resource for
philosophers, linguists, psychologists, and others concerned with
knowledge, mind, and action.
