Drag to reposition

My research interests include epistemology, ethics, and philosophy of mind & language. In the philosophy of language, I have proposed a brand-new approach to semantics (see “A Virtue Semantics” and “On the Epistemology of Language”) and argued for the idea that knowledge of a language is a kind of acquaintance knowledge (“Practical Knowledge of Language”). In epistemology, I have developed an account of knowledge-how and practical expertise (“The Metaepistemology of Knowing-How”; “Linguistic Know-How”; “The Structure of Practical Expertise”), in which the nature and structure of knowledge-how and practical expertise is spelled out in terms of the notion of hybrid skill. My account of knowledge-how and practical expertise seeks to dissolve the debate between intellectualism and anti-intellectualism about knowledge-how, and coherently explain the intelligent, automatic, and intentional dimensions of skilled action. The account of knowledge-how and practical expertise I propose also explains two of the most important skills in human life and interaction, that is, ethical expertise (“Ethical Expertise and the Articulacy Requirement”) and linguistic competence (“Knowledge of Language in Action”).
