This title opens up the debate into the nature of skill, skilfulness and expertise in vocational and professional education. A detailed philosophical debate on the nature of expertise is long overdue and "Dimensions of Expertise" opens up that debate. Christopher Winch firstly explores an account of know-how, derived primarily from the pioneering work of Gilbert Ryle, and moves on to relate this epistemological debate to discussions concerning the nature of expertise in vocational and professional education, including attempts to provide a theory of expertise.

'Professor Winch combines, on the one hand, a profound philosophical understanding of the connection between theoretical and practical knowledge with, on the other, a close awareness of the practical and vocational worlds to be illuminated by that understanding. That, currently, is important as we see the separation of 'knowing that' from 'knowing how', theoretical understanding from practical capability, academic learning from vocational preparation. This book is vital reading for those who wish to look critically at the developing agenda for education and training in secondary schools and colleges.'
