Summary:

We often talk about someone being aware of a fact, perhaps in order to criticize, excuse, admonish, or inform. Paul Silva presents a comprehensive case against the view that factual awareness is knowledge or even essentially related to knowledge, arguing that knowledge is just one species of factual awareness, which is a more basic type of state.
