Abstract: I argue, first, that we should recognize the importance of knowing how to value, second, that we can frame knowing how to value in intellectualist terms, and third, that an intellectualist treatment of knowing how to value, viewed through a computational lens, can be leveraged to develop new perspectives on topics in practical reasoning and decision making.
