Is there a fundamental difference between practical and theoretical knowledge? The thesis, going back to Gilbert Ryle, that knowing-how is an independent form of knowledge manifesting itself in practical abilities that cannot be reduced to knowing-that (propositional knowledge) is a heated topic of debate in contemporary philosophy. This book presents an analysis of practical knowledge understood as an independent form of knowledge with systematic connections to knowledge, thought, and action.
