This seems dangerously close to analytic philosophy and you know how I feel about thatÂ…I tried to call you yesterday, but you had already left. I will see if I can get a hold of you today.

*how/do some understand what not to believe*

 

(therefore, (e.g.~) "to understand : to [not] believe : : to know : to [not] do") ?

* [one] can understand something without believing it or assenting to it. *

||

2. Then..the notion that only those who do something can be said to know it in any meaningful sense.. seems to contradict what is said in (1) above.

 

That's true if we can make the following analogy.

 

to understand : to believe : : to know : to do

 

I don't think I can. I have little problem with making the terms 'believe' and 'do' analogous.
