Know how
Stanley, JasonAuthor
Oxford : Oxford University Press,
2011.
Jason Stanley presents a powerful account of how we acquire knowledge. He argues for the surprising thesis that practical knowledge is a kind of theoretical knowledge: that knowing how to do something amounts to knowing a truth about the world. It is our success as inquirers that explains our capacity for engagement with the world.
