善辯

Approaches to Vaguenessiously, as a phenomenon which is not to be explained away or treated as having no effect on the semantics and logic of a vague language. The questions we shall consider concern the status of the Principle of Bivalence, whether the laws of classical logic hold in a vague language, and the nature of higher order vagueness.

The Paradox and the Incoherence Thesisleads to the contradictory conclusions outlined in 1.1 will obviously fail.

I discuss various conceptions of vagueness in chapter 1 and outline some of the problems to do with the co

Conclusionserance of observational predicates. For the source of the problem, on this view, is to be found not in the logical principles used to establish the paradoxical conclusions but rather in the formulation of tolerance principles as strict rather than loose rules and in assumptions about the series on which the reasoning is based.

EVADE

Conceptions of Vaguenessness, and it is not clear just what they have in common. An intuitive grasp of one conception of vagueness may, however, be provided at this point by considering a metaphor Frege uses in his .. Hewrites:.

Approaches to Vaguenesss on questions to do with the way the semantics and logic of a vague language should be represented. The approaches to be discussed take vagueness seriously, as a phenomenon which is not to be explained away or treated as having no effect on the semantics and logic of a vague language. The questions

Reponses to the Paradox we shall consider here some responses of other philosophers to the two puzzles. The strategy in this chapter is as follows: we shall first discuss some of the usual ways of attempting to deal with the Sorites Paradox to be found in the literature, showing how Wright’s and Dummett’s arguments bear o
