Editing Knowledge by acquaintance (section)

===Conee===
[[Earl Conee]] invoked the idea of acquaintance knowledge in response to [[Frank Cameron Jackson|Frank Jackson's]] knowledge argument. Conee argued that when [[Knowledge argument|Mary the neuroscientist]] first sees a red object, she doesn't gain new information but rather "a maximally direct cognitive relation to the experience."[2]

[[Michael Tye (philosopher)|Michael Tye]] makes similar use of the distinction between acquaintance and factual knowledge in his analysis of the Mary thought experiment.[3]

In some versions of acquaintance theory, the “given” is actually acquired by the mind's work to register, maintain, and recall a particular sensation or other object of acquaintance until it ultimately becomes established as an acquaintance relation for the epistemic agent., but theorists emphasis that this is not to be confused with the same processes by which memories are developed.
