Keywords:

Sorensen on vagueness, Sorensen on sorites, the no-no paradox, the preface paradox

Abstract

We will try to show that Sorensen’s treatment of vagueness and sorites should not be classified as being epistemicist. Furthermore, we will try to show that the approximations that Sorensen tries to make between the soritic paradox and the no-no and preface paradoxes are not successful.
