“…For Ryle, an important point is that knowing how to apply truths cannot be reduced to knowing that something “is like it is” (knowledge of facts). With reference to Ryle, Brandt ( 20 ) argues that knowledge-how is not merely a capacity to get things right; it is a multi-track ability, a capacity to get a variety of things right. Unlike knowing how to do a single type of thing, knowledge-how is exercised in relation to different acts.…”

In this article, we examine the interactions between physiotherapists and patients in actual situations, focusing on how touch is expressed, what it may mean and how physiotherapists know (or do not know) when and how to touch. The empirical material is obtained from two Norwegian research projects. In both of them, the first author observed physiotherapeutic practice and conducted interviews with patients (children and adults) and physiotherapists. A phenomenological research approach was applied, and analysis of the empirical data was guided by the concept of bridling, implying adopting a questioning attitude and being open to that which presents itself and exploring its possibilities. Three processed excerpts from the empirical data are presented to illustrate how, in different ways, physiotherapists' expert knowledge about how to relate to and interact with individual patients is put into play and expressed in real physiotherapy encounters. Each excerpt is presented individually, followed by analysis. Our findings reveal aspects of the epistemology of physiotherapeutic practice to be intercorporal and illuminated by the concept and phenomenon of letting the other be.

Collective practical knowledge is a fragmented interrogative capacity

What does it take for a group of people to know how to do something? An account of collective practical knowledge ought to be compatible with the linguistic evidence about the semantics for collective knowledge‐how ascriptions, be able to explain the practicality of collective knowledge, be able to explain both the connection between individual and collective know‐how and the possibility of a group knowing how to do something none of its members know, and be applicable to a suitably wide range of groups. In this paper I develop a view which can meet all of these desiderata, which combines a Fragmented account of collective knowledge (Habgood‐Coote, 2019a), with the view that practical knowledge is an Interrogative Capacity (Habgood‐Coote, 2019b).

The Proliferation of Special Regimes and the Unity of the International Legal System

International law is becoming increasingly more specialized and diversified. In response to these developments, international lawyers now widely refer to international investment law, European human rights law and many other branches as ‘special regimes’. Scholars in the field see the proliferation of special regimes as a threat to the unity of the international legal system. In so doing, they are applying the traditional definition of a special regime as a collection of norms. This article encourages readers to conceive instead of a special regime as a community of practice—as an activity structured around the normative presuppositions of the people and institutions that participate in it. This new understanding, the article argues, is compatible with all predominant theories of law. When you adopt it, importantly, the proliferation of special regimes does not have the disintegrating effect that many scholars believe it to have.
