一、讲座题目：Outsourced Know-How

摘要：Discussions on know-how have been primarily concerned with the ‘authentic’ version of the concept. You know how to φ only if you know how to φ by yourself. This paper explores outsourced know-how: a person who does not know how to φ by herself can nonetheless know how to φ via another agent’s expertise about φ-ing. We defend the possibility of outsourcing practical knowledge, and we argue that outsourced know-how is an independently interesting notion. Although rooted in social life, outsourced know-how differs from testimonial transmission, collective agency, and the knowledge of how to resort. Thus, outsourcing is not reducible to the familiar topics in the social epistemology literature. Furthermore, outsourcing extends practical knowledge, but it presumes neither the extended mind nor the extended cognition thesis. The outsourcing relationship presents a novel way to extend knowledge beyond one’s skins.
