摘要
Fitch's paradox shows, from fairly innocent-looking assumptions, that if there are any unknown truths, then there are unknowable truths. This is generally thought to deliver a blow to antirealist positions that imply that all truths are knowable. The present paper argues that a probabilistic version of antirealism escapes Fitch's result while still offering all that antirealists should care for. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
