This is a reminder for:
Title: DEPT SEM.: Michael Devitt
Title: "Methodology and the Nature of Knowing How"
Abstract:
In “Knowing How,” Stanley and Williamson (S&W) reject the widely accepted
Rylean view that there is a fundamental distinction between knowledge-how
and knowledge-that. Their argument proceeds from claims about the syntax
and semantics of ascriptions of knowledge-how to the “Intellectualist”
conclusion that “knowledge-how is simply a species of knowledge-that.”
In response, I argue, first, that the Intellectualist thesis is false. The
core of the case against the thesis comes from something ignored by S&W,
the science of knowledge-how. I argue, second, that S&W’s methodology of
deriving a theory of knowledge-how from a linguistic theory of ascriptions,
without any attention at all to the science of knowledge-how, is deeply
misguided.
