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.

评分Williamson这本vagueness的文笔的确不是很好……有种理科生写文章的感觉。认知主义作为解决模糊性的方案的确有长处,尤其是在保护二值原则和经典逻辑之处。不过还是太反直觉。
评分为了保证传统认识论,引入了一定程度不可知论。
