In 1945 Alonzo Church issued a pair of referee reports in which he
anonymously conveyed to Frederic Fitch a surprising proof showing
that wherever there is (empirical) ignorance there is also
logically unknowable truth. Fitch published this and a
generalization of the result in 1963. Ever since, philosophers have
been attempting to understand the significance and address the
counter-intuitiveness of this, the so-called paradox of
knowability.
This collection assembles Church's referee reports, Fitch's 1963
paper, and nineteen new papers on the knowability paradox. The
contributors include logicians and philosophers from three
continents, many of whom have already made important contributions
to the discussion of the problem. The volume contains a general
introduction to the paradox and the background literature, and is
divided into seven sections that roughly mark the central points of
debate. The sections include the history of the paradox, Michael
Dummett's constructivism, issues of paraconsistency, developments
of modal and temporal logics, Cartesian restricted theories of
truth, modal and mathematical fictionalism, and reconsiderations
about how, and whether, we ought to construe an anti-realist theory
of truth.

and practical book for children aged 7 to 13 who have been
identified as having dyslexic tendencies, this book contains
