Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
When introduced into philosophical discussion, the notion of ‘knowing how’ promised both (1) to tell us something fundamental about the kinds of creatures that we are (namely, that we are fundamentally ‘practical’ creatures, rather than purely ‘intellectual’ ones, à la Descartes) and (2) to help us resolve a number of ancient and modern philosophical puzzles, (e.g., ‘how does the mind reach out to the world?’, ‘how can we come to know any facts?’, ‘what’s the difference between doing something accidentally and doing it intentionally?’, ‘how can someone know what they should do but nevertheless not do it?’). Unfortunately, the notion itself was not as uncontroversial as its early proponents seemed to hope, and whether it can accomplish either (or any part) of the above tasks remains an open question.What does it mean to know how to do something? Is know-how a distinctive type of knowledge? Is it distinct from knowing facts? Does knowing how to do something require having the ability to do it? Must one know how to do a thing in order to do it intentionally? And which methods are proper for deciding questions like these?This seminar will offer students an introduction to the core questions and methods in contemporary debates about knowing how, touching on their interest to epistemology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of action.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Students will be assessed on the basis of the following -Participation (20%):
Students will be expected to actively participate in class discussion.Reading Summary and Reading Questions (30%):
In groups of two or three, students will write reading questions for one week's reading. The questions will be due (and subsequently distributed to the rest of the class) by the end of the Sunday prior to the class meeting in which the reading will be discussed. Each student in the group will also (separately) be responsible for writing a one-page summary of the week's paper, due by the start of the class meeting in which the reading is discussed. More details will be posted on Moodle.Answering Reading Questions (25%):
Students will answer each week's reading questions and submit them on Moodle. The grade for answering these questions will be pass/fail.Know-How Workshop Attendance (25%):
30th November and 1st December, there will be a workshop on know-how at the University of Vienna, with talks by some of the philosophers whom we'll be reading. Students will be required to attend one session of the workshop (that is, they'll be required to attend two talks, on either the first or the second day) and will write a one-page summary of one of the talks that they've attended.
