We value their know-how. We ordinarily look for it. What makes it so valuable? A natural response is that know-how is valuable because it explains success. A surgeon’s know-how explains their success at performing a surgery. And an architect’s know-how explains their success at designing houses that stand up. We value know-how because of its special explanatory link to success. But in virtue of what is know-how explanatorily linked to success? This essay provides a novel argument for the thesis that know-how’s special link to success is to be explained at least in part in terms of its being, or involving, a doxastic attitude that is epistemically alike propositional knowledge. It is argued that the role played by know-how in explaining intentional success shows that the epistemic differences between know-how and knowledge, if any, are less than usually thought; and that “revisionary intellectualism”, the view that know-how is true belief that might well fall short of knowledge, is not really a stable position. If its explanatory link to success is what makes know-how valuable, an upshot of my argument is that the value of know-how is due, to a considerable extent, to its being, or involving, a kind of propositional knowledge.}, Doi = {10.1007/s11229-018-1823-7}, Key = {fds340900} } @article{fds340901, Author = {Beddor, B and Pavese, C}, Title = {Modal Virtue Epistemology}, Journal = {Philosophy and Phenomenological Research}, Year = {2018}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/phpr.12562}, Doi = {10.1111/phpr.12562}, Key = {fds340901} } @article{fds329157, Author = {Pavese, C}, Title = {A theory of practical meaning}, Journal = {Philosophical Topics}, Volume = {45}, Number = {2}, Pages = {65-96}, Publisher = {Philosophy Documentation Center}, Year = {2017}, Month = {September}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.5840/philtopics201745214}, Abstract = {This essay introduces the notion of practical meaning by looking at a certain kind of procedural system-the motor system-that plays a central role in computational models of motor behavior. I suggest that a semantics for motor commands has to appeal to a distinctively practical kind of meaning. Defending the explanatory relevance of motor representation and of its semantic properties in a computational explanation of motor behavior, my argument concludes that practical meanings play a central role in an adequate explanation of motor behavior that is based on these computational models. In the second part of this essay, I generalize and clarify the notion of practical meaning, and I defend the intelligibility of practical meanings against an important objection.}, Doi = {10.5840/philtopics201745214}, Key = {fds329157} } @article{fds328610, Author = {Pavese, C}, Title = {Know-how and gradability}, Journal = {The Philosophical Review}, Volume = {126}, Number = {3}, Pages = {345-383}, Year = {2017}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/00318108-3878493}, Abstract = {© 2017 by Cornell University. Orthodoxy has it that knowledge is absolute—that is, it cannot come in degrees (absolutism about propositional knowledge). On the other hand, there seems to be strong evidence for the gradability of know-how. Ascriptions of know-how are gradable, as when we say that one knows in part how to do something, or that one knows how to do something better than somebody else. When coupled with absolutism, the gradability of ascriptions of know-how can be used to mount a powerful argument against intellectualism about know-how—the view that know-how is a species of propositional knowledge. This essay defends intellectualism from the argument of gradability. It is argued that the gradability of ascriptions of know-how should be discounted as a rather superficial linguistic phenomenon, one that can be explained in a way compatible with the absoluteness of the state reported.}, Doi = {10.1215/00318108-3878493}, Key = {fds328610} } @article{fds327430, Author = {Pavese, C}, Title = {On the meaning of 'therefore'}, Journal = {Analysis}, Volume = {77}, Number = {1}, Pages = {88-97}, Publisher = {Oxford University Press (OUP)}, Year = {2017}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/analys/anx040}, Doi = {10.1093/analys/anx040}, Key = {fds327430} } @article{fds321609, Author = {Pavese, C}, Title = {Skill in epistemology II: Skill and know how}, Journal = {Philosophy Compass}, Volume = {11}, Number = {11}, Pages = {650-660}, Publisher = {WILEY}, Year = {2016}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/phc3.12364}, Abstract = {© 2016 The Author(s) Philosophy Compass © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd The prequel to this paper has discussed the relation between knowledge and skill and introduced the topic of the relationship between skill and know how. This sequel continues the discussion. First, I survey the recent debate on intellectualism about knowing how (Sections 1–3). Then, I tackle the question as to whether intellectualism (and anti-intellectualism) about skill and intellectualism (and anti-intellectualism) about know how fall or stand together (Sections 4–5).}, Doi = {10.1111/phc3.12364}, Key = {fds321609} } @article{fds321610, Author = {Pavese, C}, Title = {Skill in epistemology I: Skill and knowledge}, Journal = {Philosophy Compass}, Volume = {11}, Number = {11}, Pages = {642-649}, Publisher = {WILEY}, Year = {2016}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/phc3.12359}, Abstract = {© 2016 The Author(s) Philosophy Compass © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Knowledge and skill are intimately connected.
