Who's that philosopher? Anonymous 11/29/15 (Sun) 23:17:19 94ddfe No.2617
Hey /philosophy/,
Who was the philosopher who had the idea that truth was revealed by the expert doing of an action/use of an object and not in the verbal description of that action or object?
I can't recall who it was.

That vaguely makes me think of William James or Pragmatism in general, but I don't think that's quite it.
Or maybe Kierkegaard? (Truth is subjectivity).

And this also gives me an ultra vague impression of Heidegger from what little knowledge I have of him but like I said I'm guessing entirely here.
