Knowability

Fitch's paradox of knowability is one of the fundamental puzzles of epistemic logic. It provides a challenge to the knowability thesis, which states that every truth is, in principle, knowable. The paradox is that this assumption implies the omniscience principle, which asserts that every truth is known. Essentially, Fitch's paradox asserts that the existence of an unknown truth is unknowable. So if all truths were knowable, it would follow that all truths are in fact known. The paradox is of concern for verificationist or anti-realist accounts of truth, for which the knowability thesis is very plausible, but the omniscience principle is very implausible. The paradox appeared as a minor theorem in a 1963 paper by Frederic Fitch, "A Logical Analysis of Some Va… more »

Looks like all I wanted
Was waiting for someone to call me
Lessons that I learned 
Always came to me wnen it was too late

Good old sun 
Tends to run
Now it's beyond
Serene days that I had
Now never come to me

Every woman, every man 
Has ever thought about the end
It seemes so unfair 
That price is just the same

So we're here day by day
Looking for the ways to explain 
The pain and the gain 
Sometimes it's just same

But I've seen the night world 
The wide road
And it's not so scary

Everybody knows that 
Life has the end
That's why we need it

I don't need the daylight
When the night
Destroys the shadows of uncertinty

We're alive
It's a miracle
And we can fill it all up with love 
They say it is one of those things
That are never enough

If I could deny myself the license
To be high above all the rules of thumb
To consider the reality as another property 
I would  see it properly

The night world 
Wide road
And it's not so scary

Everybody knows that 
Life has the end 
That's why we need it

I don't need the daylight
When the night
Destroys the shadows of uncertinty

We're alive
It's a miracle
And we can fill it all up with love 
They say it is one of those things
That are never enough

I was so afraid of crawling 
All I saw was always falling
Supersticions were making desicions
But myctical visions, religions won't feed me
Cuz our views are not who we are

It looks like all I want
Is holding somebody who loves me
Lessons - to be learnt

We're alive
It's a miracle
We're alive
There is just one life
And we can fill it all up with love 
They say it is one of those things
That are never enough
