knowing-how versus knowing-that  

Définition

  • This entry introduces the epistemic distinction between knowing-how and knowing-that and its philosophical provenance and goes on to present the various positions and nuances regarding that distinction in recent analytical philosophy. The British philosopher Gilbert Ryle famously highlighted the distinction between knowing that something is the case (e.g., knowing that Antarctica is a continent) and knowing how to do things (e.g., knowing how to traverse Antarctica).
