Can works of art teach us something, perhaps about ourselves, about the world, or about what matters? This chapter addresses whether and how the arts contribute to learning by drawing on insights from epistemology – the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of knowledge. It considers how the arts contribute to the various ways of knowing that philosophers distinguish: propositional knowledge (also called “know-that”), experiential knowledge, understanding, and skill-based knowledge (also called “know-how”). With respect to each, there are promising ways of working out how art may contribute to our epistemic growth. At the same time, each candidate type of knowledge faces challenges and complications that limit its ability to be the singular answer regarding learning from and through the arts. Ultimately, this chapter suggests that “know-how” – or skill-based knowledge – is an especially fruitful concept for understanding how we become epistemically better off through engagement with the arts. This chapter thus suggests that becoming epistemically better off through engagement with the arts is not about acquiring knowledge of facts, but rather about developing ways of seeing, perceiving, interpreting, and responding to the world more skillfully.
