The paradox of the knower without epistemic closure
Mind 110 (438):319-333 (2001)
Abstract
In this essay I present a new version of the Paradox of the Knower and show that this new paradox vitiates a certain argument against epistemic closure. I then prove a theorem that relates the new paradox to epistemological scepticism. I conclude by assessing the use of the Knower in arguments against syntactical treatments of knowledge.Author's Profile
