Unruly Words

Auteur: Raffman, Diana (Professor of Philosophy and Director of Graduate Studies, Professor of Philosophy and Director of Graduate Studies, University of Toronto)
Editeur: Oxford University Press Inc
In Unruly Words, Diana Raffman advances a new theory of vagueness which, unlike previous accounts, is genuinely semantic while preserving bivalence. According to this new approach, called the multiple range theory, vagueness consists essentially in a term's being applicable in multiple arbitrarily different, but equally competent, ways, even when contextual factors are fixed.
