Instead of simply focusing on how people know (and on how to know them), we must unearth our presuppositions about what people are. However, although knowledge and representational practices do not exhaust who we are, they are central to the human condition. How can we follow Taylor in shifting away from a knowledge-centered account of human nature, while nonetheless capturing how representation is central to many human activities?Educational FoundationsArticle
