- 요약Most philosophers and cognitive scientists who focus on skill study individual performers as they acquire and express skills. The main questions raised about individual skilled actors are about the causal structure of each performer's actions (automatic or controlled), or the kind of knowledge guiding their actions (propositional or not). How do these issues look when we turn our attention to agents who express their skills with and for others? And how do these considerations bear on our concepts of 'expert' and 'expertise'? My dissertation shows that studying the oft-neglected social dimension of skill leads us to better understand a wider range of skills, helps identify the mechanisms that enable skilled performance in social contexts, and elucidates the distinction between skill as such and expertise, which involves skill but has a further social dimension as well.Consider the following two debates concerning skill. The first considers whether the causal structure of skilled and expert action is automatic or controlled. The second, between intellectualists and anti-intellectualists, considers the kind of knowledge that guides skilled action and is primarily concerned with whether skilled performance is guided by knowledge how or knowledge that, and secondarily, the cognitive mechanisms involved in either kind of knowledge. My discussion of these debates considers their commonalities (e.g., similarities between anti-intellectualism and the automaticity position) and presents their shared conceptual limitations. The central conceptual limitation, I argue, is an overly individualistic treatment of skill and expertise. In traditional treatments, the paradigmatic cases of skill, and the questions raised of these cases, are of individual actors performing in isolation: Tiger Woods perfecting his golf swing, Gary Kasparov playing chess (while downplaying the fact that his exercise of the skill takes place in a social context, viz., a two-player game), a ballerina executing a difficult routine, and so on. The current models both overlook and are ill-equipped to handle expressions of skill such as team sports or ensemble performances. To better understand the kinds of skills not captured in these models, I advance a taxonomy of skills that are performed with and for others. I refer to these as 'social skills' and present a three-fold distinction for different features of social skills. Skills can be social because they are (i) exercised jointly, (ii) other-directed, or (iii) performed to meet some social need. I argue that proponents of current models must either accept their limitations or revise their models to appropriately treat social skills. Also missing from the debate is a clear distinction between expert and skilled action. While expert action is necessarily social and always occurs in the context of a joint action (though the exercise of the skill as such may not be in a joint action), skilled action in general is not (though some skilled action is social even when it is not an expression of expertise). I advance definitions of 'expert' and 'expertise' that attempts to capture their social character. On my view, experts (a) have expertise (that is, they meet the community standards for a level of skill that is higher than most others in a specific domain), (b) are recognized in the community as meeting (a), (c) are used as a resource for some need in the community in virtue of (a) and (b), and (d) serve intentionally as a resource in virtue of recognizing (a)-(c).I advance a revised framework which details how my account of social skills, including the conceptual distinction between expert and skilled action, bears on our empirical investigations of skill and expertise.
