An Introduction to Connectionism . This is a reasonably accessible introduction to the basic components and concepts which are important to connectionist systems. It includes a description of some of the kinds of processing units which can be employed. Traditionally, epistemology has been concerned with the problems and questions which arise with propositional knowledge. This, however, is not the only way in which knowledge can be conceived.
Propositional knowledge consists in an agent, s knowing that p, where p is some proposition.
However, knowledge claims may also be made with respect to s's knowing how to q. In this case, q is some skill or action, and need not be straight forwardly propositional in nature. I will also discuss the relationship between the two kinds of knowledge.
