Rosenkranz on Quandary, Vagueness, and Intuitionism

Sven Rosenkranz (‘Wright on Vagueness and Agnosticism’, Mind, 112/447, pp. 449–463) provides a searching critique of the central line of argument in ‘On Being in a Quandary’ (this volume, Chapter 7) towards a broadly intuitionistic conception of the nature and logic of vagueness. The three sections of Chapter 8 respectively outline the essence of Rosenkranz’s criticism, propose a modification of the argument of ‘On Being in a Quandary’ that can resist it, and then suggest a different, more economical route to the proposed intuitionistic distinctions for vague statements.
