Ryle's distinction between knowledge-how and knowledge-that

Ryle's distinction separates two types of knowledge: "knowledge-that" and "knowledge-how." "Knowledge-that" refers to knowing factual information or facts—like knowing that Paris is the capital of France. In contrast, "knowledge-how" involves the ability to do something—such as knowing how to ride a bicycle or cook a meal. Ryle emphasizes that knowing how often involves skills and practical abilities that can’t be fully captured just by knowing facts. This distinction highlights that being knowledgeable isn’t only about information but also about the competence to perform certain tasks.
