Knowing, Knowing Perspicuously, and Knowing How One Knows

Abstract In Knowing and Seeing , Michael Ayers presents a view of what he calls primary knowledge according to which one who knows in that way both perspicuously how they know. Here, I use some general considerations about seeing, knowing, knowing order raise questions this view. More specifically, consider putative limits on one’s capacity know knows. The main question pursue concerns whether perspicuity should be thought either (i) as condition sensory experience, (ii) sense-based cognition, or (iii) an interface condition, involving interrelations between experience cognition.
