This book develops a comprehensive account of know-how, a crucial epistemic goal for all who care about getting things right, not only with respect to the facts, but also with respect to practice. It proposes a novel interpretation of the seminal work of Gilbert Ryle, according to which know-how is a competence, a complex ability to do well in an activity in virtue of guidance by an understanding of what it takes to do so. This idea is developed into a full-fledged account, Rylean responsibilism, which understands know-how in terms of the normative guidance and responsible control of one's acts. Within the complex current debate about know-how, this view occupies a middle ground position between the intellectualist claim that know-how just is propositional or objectual knowledge and the anti-intellectualist claim that know-how just is ability. In genuine know-how, practical ability and guiding intellect are both necessary, but essentially intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verlag Vittorio Klostermann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813869928599,"sku":"9783465038801","price":2610.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783465038801.webp?v=1778339101","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/know-how-as-competence-a-rylean-responsibilist-account-9783465038801","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
