If you keep removing single grains of sand from a heap, when is it no longer a heap? From discussions of the heap paradox in classical Greece, to modern formal approaches like fuzzy logic, Timothy Williamson traces the history of the problem of vagueness. He argues that standard logic and formal semantics apply even to vague languages and defends the controversial, realist view that vagueness is a form of ignorance - there really is a grain of sand whose removal turns a heap into a non-heap, but we can never know exactly which one it is.

評分Williamson這本vagueness的文筆的確不是很好……有種理科生寫文章的感覺。認知主義作為解決模糊性的方案的確有長處,尤其是在保護二值原則和經典邏輯之處。不過還是太反直覺。
