Description Readers' comments

It is still controversial whether non-human animals are capable of knowledge, and, if so, of which kind of knowledge they are capable. In what follows we try to provide a tentative, concise contribution to these questions. Moving, of course, from a distinctively epistemological perspective, we consider three kinds of knowledge (knowledge by acquaintance, knowledge-how, propositional knowledge) and try to evaluate some circumstances under which non-human animal knowledge might be plausible.
