45A Capacity to Get Things Right: Gilbert Ryle on KnowledgeEuropean Journal of Philosophy 24 (4). 2016.Gilbert Ryle's distinction between knowledge-how and knowledge-that faces a significant challenge: accounting for the unity of knowledge. Jason Stanley, an ‘intellectualist’ opponent of Ryle's, brings out this problem by arguing that Ryleans must treat ‘know’ as an ambiguous word and must distinguish knowledge proper from knowledge-how, which is ‘knowledge’ only so-called.

18Wilson on Kripke’s WittgensteinPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research 60 (3): 571-584. 2000.George Wilson has recently defended Kripke’s well-known interpretation of Wittgenstein against the criticisms of John McDowell.
