| summary | A psychological theory of vagueness is a non-semantic theory that seeks to understand vagueness in terms of the psychological state that is characteristic of taking a proposition to be borderline. The theories of Field, Schiffer, and Wright each offer a different account of the nature of that state, of the way vagueness is to be explained in terms of that state, and of the way their accounts bear on the sorites paradox. |
