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 ofthe 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.
