Higher-Order Vagueness and the Vagueness of 'Vague'

open access: yesMind, 2003
Sorensen has argued that ‘vague’ is itself a vague predicate; it is just as sorites-prone as its positive instances. This result has been exploited by Hyde in an ingenious attempt to establish that vague predicates must necessarily suffer from higher-order vagueness.

INTRANSITIVITY AND VAGUENESS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Review of Symbolic Logic, 2008
There are many examples in the literature that suggest that indistinguishability is intransitive, despite the fact that the indistinguishability relation is typically taken to be an equivalence relation (and thus transitive). It is shown that if the uncertainty perception and the question of when an agentreportsthat two things are indistinguishable are
