Abstract

The paper examines the logical representation of knowability in terms of the first-order hybrid epistemic logic proposed by C. Proietti. This logic contains alethic and epistemic modalities, and hybrid operators. Two drawbacks of Proietti’s formalization are shown and two modifications thereof are suggested.
