| contents | Truth, Demonstration and Knowledge: A Classical Solution to the Paradox of Knowability Elia Zardini Filosofía truth realism knowledge intuitionism demonstration After introducing semantic anti-realism and the paradox of knowability, the paper offers a reconstruction of the anti-realist argument from understanding. The proposed reconstruction validates an unrestricted principle to the effect that truth requires the existence of a certain kind of “demonstration”. The paper shows that that principle fails to imply the problematic instances of the original unrestricted feasible-knowability principle but that the overall view underlying the new principle still has unrestricted epistemic consequences. Appealing precisely to the paradox of knowability, the paper also argues, against the B H K semantics, for the non-constructive character of the demonstrations envisaged by semantic anti-realism, and contends that, in such setting, one of the most natural arguments for a broadly intuitionist revision of classical logic loses all its force. 2015 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339742547005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
