人是如何獲得「理解」？德性知識論的代表人物 Linda Zagzebski 長久 來宣稱「理解的獲得來自於對技藝的掌握」。在本文中，作者闡釋 Zagzebski 的宣稱，並指出這宣稱的問題。透過對 Zagzebski 之宣稱的批判性檢視，作 者在文後提供另一修改自 Zagzebski 的理解獲得觀點。

How can we acquire understanding? Linda Zagzebski has long claimed that understanding is acquired through, or arises from, mastering a particular practical technê. In this paper, I explicate Zagzebski’s claim and argue that the claim is problematic. Based on a critical examination of Zagzebski’s claim, I propose, in conclusion and in brief, a new claim regarding the acquisition of understanding.
