Vagueness is ubiquitous and central in natural languages. Reflecting on vagueness sharpens our understanding of our linguistic practices and language as a social art. Vagueness relates to our cognitive capabilities. Outside the formal sciences and limited areas of science vagueness seems to be ineliminable. The book engages with views found in the literature on vagueness, and puts forth a view on vagueness, which does not agree with supervaluationism, although agreeing on classical logic being the default logic, which neither exactly agrees with epistemicism, although agreeing on the existence of boundaries. The proposed logic of vagueness is 3-valued, but does not agree with most common 3-valued logics. The logic proposed extends standard logic.
