This chapter shows how to find an acceptable reading of knowability-in-principle in order to avoid visiting upon oneself and one's opposition the overly restrictive consequence that only the practically and feasibly knowable can feature in the anti-realist's manifestation requirement on grasp meaning. It discusses the strict finitist's concern about knowability-in-principle, recognitional capacities and compositionality, and feasible verifiability. It also analyses and concept of aspectual recognition and discusses ways of finding the right dispositional conditionals.Less
