Abstract

In their intriguing comments, Paul Horwich and Stephen Schiffer accept one main thesis of Vagueness, that vague sentences express true or false propositions in borderline cases. Neither of them denies the further thesis that we cannot know which truth-values those propositions have. Of course I will concentrate on their objections to more specific features of my view, hoping that this will not obscure the many points of agreement.
