Unraveling Vagueness: The Sorites Paradox

This chapter explores the complexities of vagueness through the Sorites paradox, particularly in the context of defining height and terms like 'tall'. It examines how incremental changes can lead to contradictory conclusions and discusses various logical frameworks, including three-valued logic, that challenge traditional understandings of truth. Ultimately, the chapter highlights how individuals can simultaneously hold contradictory beliefs, reshaping our understanding of vague predicates and their implications.
