7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 10. Vagueness / b. Vagueness of reality
Evans argues (falsely!) that a contradiction follows from treating objects as vague [Evans, by Lowe]

Shoemaker moved from properties as powers to properties bestowing powers [Shoemaker, by Mumford/Anjum]
9. Objects / B. Unity of Objects / 3. Unity Problems / e. Vague objects
If a=b is indeterminate, then a=/=b, and so there cannot be indeterminate identity [Evans, by Thomasson]

Perfect love is not in spite of imperfections; the imperfections must be loved as well [Kierkegaard]
