- Title
Practical Know-Wh.

- Abstract
The central and paradigmatic cases of knowledge discussed in philosophy involve the possession of truth. Is there in addition a distinct type of practical knowledge, which does not aim at the truth? This question is often approached through asking whether states attributed by 'know-how' locutions are distinct from states attributed by 'know-that'. This paper argues that the question of practical knowledge can be raised not only about some cases of 'know-how' attributions, but also about some cases of so-called 'know-wh' attributions; and that certain features of this practical knowledge-wh put pressure on the standard analysis of know-wh.
