- 제   목: A Mathematical Form of Knowing How in Greek Mathematics



강연 내용:
In Euclid's Elements, as in Greek mathematics generally, there are two kinds of result, normally called theorems and problems. What is the distinction between these two kinds of results? A good answer should explain both how both kinds of result belong together in a single science of mathematics and also what distinguishes them as two distinct kinds of result. We argue that the problems embody a specifically mathematical form of knowing how, which complements the merely descriptive knowledge expressed in the theorems. This turns out to be of general philosophical import, because it connects with the recent vigorous discussion of knowing how (following Stanley and Williamson).
