Many cognitivists, however, think that the knowledge we acquire fromliterary fiction is not centrally a kind of propositional or evenconceptual knowledge, but a kind of practical knowledge. For example,literature can cause us to attend to the world in a more focused way,enriching our perceptual experience and emotional and moralunderstanding (Diamond 1995; Nussbaum 1985, 1990, 2001; Gibson 2007;Robinson 1995 [1997]). One way it might do this is by being a sourceof what Davies calls categorial understanding (2007: 146),yielding new categories through which to understand the world, forexample quixotic and Kafkaesque (Goodman 1978:ch. 4). It can also provide phenomenal knowledge: knowledge of what itis like to be a certain kind of person or be in a certain kind ofsituation, and so knowledge that can be put to use in planning or tohelp us understand other people or the moral complexity of situations(Kieran 1996; Currie 1998; Putnam 1978; Carroll 2002; Swirski2007).
