In philosophy, a distinction is often made between two different kinds of knowledge: knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description. Whereas knowledge by description is something like ordinary propositional knowledge (e.g. "I know that snow is white"), knowledge by acquaintance is familiarity with a person, place, or thing, typically obtained through perceptual experience (e.g. "I know Sam", "I know the city of Bogotá", or "I know Russell's Problems of Philosophy"). According to Bertrand Russell's classic account of acquaintance knowledge, acquaintance is a direct causal interaction between a person and some object that the person is perceiving.

- Acquaintance est un terme de la langue anglaise utilisé par Bertrand Russell pour définir un certain type de connaissance, la « knowledge by acquaintance », traduit habituellement en français par connaissance directe. Jean-Michel Roy a utilisé le mot « accointance » dans sa traduction en français du manuscrit de 1913 sur la théorie de la connaissance. Ce type de connaissance s'oppose à la connaissance par description (« knowledge by description ». (fr)
