Abstract

I assess a revised version of Greenough’s account of vagueness as a form of epistemic tolerance. The revised definition aims to provide a neutral characterization of vagueness that all parties to the vagueness debate can accept. I critically assess the revised definition and ultimately argue that a neutral definition of vagueness is unnecessary.
