✦ Synopsis

Vagueness is a deeply puzzling aspect of the relation between language and the world. Is it a feature of the way we represent reality in language, or a feature of reality itself? How can we reason with vague concepts? This book presents the latest work towards an understanding of these puzzles about the nature and logic of vagueness.
