On “Knowledge To” and Wang Yangming

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Drawing on insights of Wang Yangming 王陽明, Yong Huang proposes an account of a phenomenon that has in recent times suffered neglect. This neglect has been relieved only by the idea of a “besire,” a mental attitude that combines features of both beliefs and desires. I accept the insightfully discerned phenomenon, but offer a different account of its nature and importance. The phenomenon is real, though, and different from the familiar phenomena of knowledge that and knowledge how.
