Vagueness

This book develops a new theory of vagueness, based on the idea that vagueness is a global rather than a local phenomenon. This leads to a new semantics for vagueness and a new logic. Kit fine then applies this theory to traditional philosophical puzzles including the sorites paradox, the problem of personal identity and to the transparency of mental phenomenon.

Vagul este un subiect de interes indelungat pentru filosofia limbajului, metafizica si logica filosofica. In literatura de specialitate au fost propuse numeroase relatari despre vagitate, dar nu a existat un consens general cu privire la care, daca exista, ar trebui acceptat.
