Abstract: | Knowing-how is currently a hot topic in epistemology. But what is the proper subject matter of a study of knowing-how and
in what sense can such a study be regarded as epistemological? The aim of this paper is to answer such metaepistemological
questions. This paper offers a metaepistemology of knowing-how, including considerations of the subject matter, task, and
nature of the epistemology of knowing-how. I will achieve this aim, first, by distinguishing varieties of knowing-how and,
second, by introducing and elaborating the concept of hybrid knowing-how, which entails a combination of a ground-level ability
and a meta-level perspective on that ability. The stance I wish to advocate is that the epistemology of knowing-how is a normative
discipline whose main task is to study the nature and value of human practical intelligence required to do things in a particular
manner. |
