9766 | Study vagueness first by its logic, then by its truth-conditions, and then its metaphysics [Fine,K] |
Full Idea: My investigation of vagueness began with the question 'What is the correct logic of vagueness?', which led to the further question 'What are the correct truth-conditions for a vague language?', which led to questions of meaning and existence. | |
From: Kit Fine (Vagueness, Truth and Logic [1975], Intro) | |
A reaction: This is the most perfect embodiment of the strategy of analytical philosophy which I have ever read. It is the strategy invented by Frege in the 'Grundlagen'. Is this still the way to go, or has this pathway slowly sunk into the swamp? |
