I am pleased to announce the following result: a version of the Knower Paradox remains even when Kaplan and Montague's epistemic closure assumption is dropped. In this essay I establish this result and show that it vitiates a certain argument against epistemic closure. I then prove a theorem that relates the new paradox to epistemological scepticism. Finally, I assess the use of the Knower Paradox and the variant presented here in arguments against syntactical treatments of knowledge.
