Objectual knowledge

Research output: Contribution to Book/Report typesChapterpeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

It is commonly assumed that besides knowledge of facts or truths, there is also knowledge of things—for example, we say that we know people or know places. We could call this ‘objectual knowledge’. In this chapter, I raise doubts about the idea that there is a sui generis objectual knowledge that is distinct from knowledge of truths.
