Prodecural Knowledge
OF
Propositional Knowledge
The third kind of knowledge, the kind that
philosophers care about most, ispropositional
knowledge, or knowledge of facts. When we say
things like I know that the internal angles of a
triangle add up to 180 degress or I know that it
was you that ate my sandwich, we are claiming to
have propositional knowledge.
Declarative knowledge (or substantive knowledge)
focuses on beliefs about relationships among
variables.
