Know How by Jason F. Stanley
The Epistemology of Practical Knowledge
Argues that knowing how is best understood as a form of propositional knowledge—knowing certain truths about how actions produce outcomes—together with the ability to apply that knowledge, rather than a sui generis non‑propositional skill. The book challenges anti‑intellectualist views (such as Rylean accounts), addresses cases of tacit or embodied expertise that seem to resist articulation, and defends an intellectualist framework by showing how propositional knowledge can underwrite practical abilities, drawing consequences for theories of action, mind, and epistemology.
