what is propositional knowledge?

Answer 1

Use wikipedia

Answer 2

I believe you are referring to Propositional or Traditional Logic. It had been argued sense the time of the Roman Philosophers that true Logic could be proved such by use of Mathematics formulas. This actually was put to it's most serious test in the 16th century and refuted as the" Myth of Morbus Mathematicus".

A sample of Traditional Logic might read:
Iff A+D=A(B + C) then D=B+C.

The Iff stands for" if and only if"and the rest is simular to Algerbra. The refutation however is based on the fact that such formulas could not solve and could therefore be fooled by Riddles and Parables. Math is morbid and thus to try philosophic questions using such methods will usuall result in a sadistic and vile sense of Humanity and Existentialism etc.

Still the aspect of Propositional Logic that is still in use is good for Backgammon for example because it deals withthe direct evaluation of Probablity verses Possiblity.

For examples of Backgammon Probablities see Advanced Backgammon by Bill Roberti.

Answer 3

Propositional knowledge, is the species of knowledge that is, by its very nature, expressed in declarative sentences or indicative propositions. This distinguishes descriptive knowledge from what is commonly known as "know-how", or procedural knowledge (the knowledge of how, and especially how best, to perform some task), and "knowing of," or knowledge by acquaintance (the knowledge of something's existence).

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Propositional knowledge or declarative knowledge is knowledge that some proposition is either true or false.
