Descriptive knowledgeDeclarative knowledge – The terms "descriptive knowledge" and "declarative knowledge" are used as synonyms in the academic literature but the term "declarative knowledge" is much more common, see Google Ngram Viewer Phlsph7 (talk) 07:33, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Another candidate on par with the term "declarative knowledge" would be "propositional knowledge". It is also commonly used as a synonym in the academic literature and has a similar frequency, see Google Ngram Viewer. Phlsph7 (talk) 16:03, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

ISBN 978-3-030-36119-8. We follow Markauskaite and Goodyear (2017) and Dohn (2017) in distinguishing between three knowledge types. Declarative knowledge is knowledge expressible in propositional statements, often also termed propositional knowledge or know-that (e.g., "President Donald Trump was inaugurated on 20.01.2017," "Karl Marx wrote Capital,' "Force = Mass x Acceleration'). Procedural knowledge is often called practical knowledge, skill, or know-how (e.g., riding a bicycle, performing surgery, carrying out a logical deduction). Relational knowledge, comprising experiential and contextual knowledge, sometimes just called experiential knowledge, knowledge-by-acquaintance, or know-of (e.g., knowing what kangaroo tastes like, what red looks like, and how local, cultural norms delimit what it is appropriate to say in a given context).

In its more modern forms epistemology has taken the analysis of meaning and the status of claims to knowledge as its quarry. Consequently, writers such as Bertrand Arthur William Russell (also known as the third Earl Russell, 1872-1970), George Edward Moore (1873-1958), and Ludwig Joseph Johann Wittgenstein (1889-1951) have attempted to delineate three kinds of knowledge: 1. Knowledge that, or 'factual knowledge' ... 2. Knowledge how, or 'practical knowledge' ... 3. Knowledge of people, places, and things, or 'knowledge by acquaintance'

Also referred to as 'theory of knowledge', epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with issues surrounding (1) the nature of knowledge, (2) the sources of knowledge, and (3) the extent of knowledge ... (2) primarily deals with the question of what the sources of propositional knowledge are. Some sources of knowledge are widely accepted (perception, reasoning, testimony, and memory, for instance)
