Conceptual Knowing-How-Based Theoretical Wisdom

Philosophy is typically described as a pursuit of wisdom. However, many philosophers maintain that only one type of wisdom exists-practical wisdom. Contrary to this claim, this study contends that a self-contained characterization of theoretical wisdom is possible. Although many current accounts of such wisdom are knowing-that-based, this study considers that this approach is problematic and instead favors a knowing-how-based approach. Moreover, this study offers a detailed account of theoretical wisdom in terms of conceptual knowing-how.
