Moral Vagueness Is Ontic Vagueness
Ethics, 2016The aim of this essay is to argue that, if a robust form of moral realism is true, then moral vagueness is ontic vagueness. The argument is by elimination: I show that neither semantic nor epistemic approaches to moral vagueness are satisfactory.

Hypergraphs are among the most ubiquitous models of both natural and human-made structures. They can be used to model system architectures and data structures, and to represent a partition, covering and clustering in the area of circuit design. In this paper, we introduce the notions of vague hypergraphs and dual vague hypergraphs and present some of ...

The gut is one of several organs contributing to the peripheral signalling network that controls food intake. Afferent neurons of the vagus nerve provide an important pathway for gut signals that act by triggering ascending pathways from the brain stem to hypothalamus.

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 ...

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

Synthese, 1996
In this paper I present two arguments against the thesis that we experience qualia. I argue that if we experienced qualia then these qualia would have to be essentially vague entities. And I then offer two arguments, one a reworking of Gareth Evans' argument against the possibility of vague objects, the other a reworking of the Sorites argument, to ...

Philosophy of Science, 1939
As is rather generally admitted today, the terms of our language in scientific as well as in everyday use, are not completely precise, but exhibit a more or less high degree of vagueness. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the consequences of this circumstance for a series of questions which belong to the field of logic.

Axiomatic utility theory plays a foundational role in some accounts of normative principles. In this context, it is sometimes argued that transitivity of “better than” is a logical truth. Larry Temkin and Stuart Rachels use various examples to argue that “better than” is non–transitive, and that transitivity is not a logical truth.
