• Know How to Transmit Knowledge? Poston, Ted 2016 Noûs , Vol. 50 , Issue 4 , S. 865 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0029-4624 | 1468-0068 Abstract

    Intellectualism about knowledge-how is the view that practical knowledge is a species of prepositional knowledge. I argue that this view is undermined by a difference in properties between knowledge-how and both knowledge-that and knowledge-wh. More specifically, I argue that both knowledge-that and knowledge-wh are easily transmitted via testimony while knowledge-how is not easily transmitted by testimony. This points to a crucial difference in states of knowledge. I also consider Jason Stanley's attempt to subsume knowledge-how under an account of de se knowledge. I argue that there are crucial differences between de se knowledge and knowledge-how. Thus, this paper advances both the discussion of intellectualism and the literature on the nature of de se knowledge.
