Activity Concepts and Expertise

Intellectualism encompasses a range of positions which all share a commitment to the view that all know how can be rendered as know that. Despite the recent growth of work in this tradition (such as Bengson and Moffett 2012) know how remains relatively under theorised. Luntley’s work on the non-conceptual character of know how in general and skill in particular importantly contributes to this strand of the intellectualist literature. His position has been developed in a series of papers which foreground the role which deixis plays in know how and its manifestation in expert performance.
