Zusammenfassung:Simin Davoudi's (2015) essay gives readers of Planning Theory an insightful and instructive reflection on the practice of knowing. How, in effect, knowledge should be linked with action is aptly summarized in her diagram that clusters four kinds of knowledge - "Knowing what (theories, concepts)," "Knowing how (crafts, skills)," "Knowing to what end (moral choices)" and "Practical judgment (wisdom)" around "Doing (action)." I can't think of a better conceptualization of the application of the different kinds of knowledge there are, to deciding and committing ourselves to personal and collective action. My only question is: why is this essay addressed specifically to planning - as in its title: "Planning as practice of knowing"? I think I know the answer to my question: the popular definition of planning as linking between knowledge and action (Friedmann, 1987: 38-44).
