Beschreibung:
Vagueness, Logic and Ontology explores various responses to the philosophical problems generated by vagueness and its associated paradox - the sorites paradox. Hyde argues that the theoretical space in which vagueness is sometimes ontologically grounded and modelled by a truth-functional logic affords a coherent response to the problems posed by vagueness. Showing how the concept of vagueness can be applied to the world, Hyde's ontological account proposes a substantial revision of orthodox semantics, metaphysics and logic. This book will be of particular interest to readers in philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science and geographic information systems.
Contents: Preface; Vagueness; Russell's representational theory; Descriptive representationalism; Going non-classical: gaps and gluts; Ontological vagueness; Vague individuation and counting; The logic of vagueness; Bibliography; Index.
