Knowledge For Humans
About This Book
1 Knowledge First, let’s ask what sorts of things are “known” in the sense we are interested in. In a claim of the form “Sluggo knows X,” what sort of entity goes into the “X” spot? We could fill in the blank with phrases like “how to ride a bike,” “how to speak Esperanto,” or “how to dance like a maniac.” These are abilities Sluggo may or may not have, and we might call this sort of knowledge know-how. Philosophers typically are not very interested in know-how since we have not yet come across
