*"Philosophers have not done justice to the distinction which is quite familiar to all of us between knowing that something is the case and knowing how to do things. In their theories of knowledge they concentrate on the discovery of truths or facts, and they either ignore the discovery of ways and methods of doing things or else they try to reduce it to the discovery of facts. They assume that intelligence equates with the contemplation of propositions and is exhausted in this contemplation." * *-- *Gilbert Ryle "Knowing How and Knowing That", Aristotelian Society Presidential Address, 1945 https://www.jstor.org/stable/4544405?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents http://www.informationphilosopher.com/solutions/philosophers/ryle/Ryle_KnowHow.pdf
