 Perhaps the shift occurred in response to the rise of scepticism in Hellenistic philosophy (Burnyeat 1980: 188; cf. Zagzebski 2001: 236). Or perhaps the modern focus on propositional knowledge was a response to the wars of religion in sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe, where it became increasingly important to distinguish good knowledge claims from bad, even with respect to quite isolated claims. (For more on the modern rise of interest in propositional knowledge, see Pasnau 2010; 2017.) Regardless of why the shift occurred, a desire to grasp “how things hang together” undoubtedly remained a part of the human condition. It is therefore unsurprising that a move to revive understanding as a topic of philosophical inquiry eventually emerged.
