VAGUE PARTS AND VAGUE IDENTITY
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 2009AbstractWe discuss arguments against the thesis that the world itself can be vague. The first section of the paper distinguishes dialectically effective from ineffective arguments against metaphysical vagueness. The second section constructs an argument against metaphysical vagueness that promises to be of the dialectically effective sort: an argument ...

World Journal of Surgery, 2001
World Journal of Surgeryhas been studying the etymologic genealogy of some common terms in surgical usage. Thus the bile duct strangely leads us to symphony orchestras, dukes, coins, and dictators; and a bacteriologic culture is found to be related to such unexpected cousins as religion, agronomy, war, and civilization.

Synthese, 2015
We previously stated an impossibility result and suggested that the standard approaches to vagueness were incapable of providing a satisfactory response to the result. This chapter considers how a more satisfactory response to the result might proceed. This will call for a radical revision in our general understanding of vagueness and in how its logic ...

Vagueness and ‘Vague’: A Reply to Varzi
Mind, 2005page 1Varzi (2003) has recently joined a thread of arguments originating in an attempt by Sorensen(1985) to demonstrate that the predicate 'vague' is itself vague. Sorensen's conclusion issignificant in that it has provided the basis for a subsequent effort by Hyde (1994) to defendthe legitimacy of supposing higher-order vagueness. Varzi's contribution

Trivalent Semantics and the Vaguely Vague
Synthese, 2007Michael Tye responds to the problem of higher-order vagueness for his trivalent semantics by maintaining that truth-value predicates are “vaguely vague”: it’s indeterminate, on his view, whether they have borderline cases and therefore indeterminate whether every sentence is true, false, or indefinite.

AbstractThough vague phenomena have been studied extensively for many decades, it is only in recent years that researchers sought the support of quantitative data. This chapter highlights and discusses the insights that experimental methods brought to the study of vagueness.

Dialogue, 2001
RÉSUMÉMichael Tye soutient que certains noms sont vagues parce qu'ils réfèrent à des objets vagues. Tye, cependant, ne distingue pas entre référer à un objet vague et référer vaguement. Je suggère, à partir de certaines suppositions, que les noms vagues doivent référer vaguement.

New Mathematics and Natural Computation, 2005
We examine the notion of a vague ring. We develop a method of constructing vague rings which can be used in the construction of other algebraic structures. We make a connection between vague rings and M-adic topologies on rings and also to the solution of nonlinear systems of equations and to the convergence of Cauchy sequences in power series rings ...
