1. Categorization should be based on what there actually exists in the world, including our own mentality. It is not the case that we can invent a label and then look for the content. Indeed, that is why we can eliminate the supposed category of KNOWLEDGE OF reducing it all to KNOWLEDGE HOW You loo...

What do you mean by, it all depends on context all the best, rantal If I am sitting down writing a post. I still know how to ride a bike; I might know of a particular bike. But I would not have to be currently conscious of that. Just like, I bet you know of numbers, and now how to count, but you we...

Re: The Art of War
I think you mean the 'axis' of evil? How can you conduct a war against a noun? Of course when a war was fought against Germany it was thought against that which the word refered to not the word itself. Similarly a war against an 'axis of evil' is also fought against that to which the word refers no...

Re: There is no such thing as knowing
It seems to me that the difference between knowing about, knowing of, and knowing how is limited to practice, but epistemological are not different from each other. Knowing 'of' can be expressed in "knowing how" and vice versa. How would you express knowing how to ride a bike in terms of ...

Re: There is no such thing as knowing
(2) a working definition of knowledge is what I mean by 'knowing how' that is, an ability, including all that is normally considered as both 'knowledge of' and 'knowledge how to' Dear Rantal, If one is to understand your theory you should be quite clear in your specific terminology. On one occasion...
