<jats:p>According to intellectualism, knowing how to V is a matter of knowing a suitable proposition about a way of V‐ing. In this paper, I consider the question of which ways of acting might figure in the propositions that intellectualists claim constitute the object of knowledge‐how. I argue that intellectualists face a version of the generality problem—familiar from discussions of reliabilism—as not all ways of V‐ing are such that knowledge about them suffices for knowledge‐how. I consider various responses to this problem and argue that none are satisfactory.</jats:p> |
