| Propositional knowledge, philosophy: the knowledge of whether certain propositions are true or false in contrast to a knowledge-how or possessing an ability. A problem with propositional knowledge are indexical theorems because the determination of the truth value (true or false) is context-dependent and situation-dependent here. See also propositions, opacity, example of the two omniscient Gods._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Tyler Burge on Propositional Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments
Frank I 29 Propositional Knowledge/Burge: Propositional knowledge is not uncorrectable, but the content cannot possibly be unknown! I know what I think about the thing, Frank I 30 but the thing itself can prove to be non-existent. >Incorrigibility, >Self-knowledge, >Objects of thought. (>Brentano: empirical thought of the first and second order): Empirical Thoughts of the First Order/Brentano/Burge: are individuated by the outside world (externalism). Second Order: directly in consciousness, not discursively, self-evidently transparent. Not propositional, otherwise fallible! Possible without mastering the enabling conditions! (>Kripke pro). >Exterenalism, >First Person._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
