{"product_id":"vagueness-timothy-williamson-9780415139809","title":"Vagueness","description":"If you keep removing single grains of sand from a heap, when is it no longer a heap? From discussions of the heap paradox in classical Greece, to modern formal approaches like fuzzy logic, Timothy Williamson traces the history of the problem of vagueness. He argues that standard logic and formal semantics apply even to vague languages and defends the controversial, realist view that vagueness is a form of ignorance - there really is a grain of sand whose removal turns a heap into a non-heap, but we can never know exactly which one it is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Williamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415139805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415139809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.14h x 5.55w x 0.82d","brand":"Timothy Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119671111935,"sku":"9780415139809","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79c3761f-b767-4d78-b71d-7c7a63d90178.jpg?v=1687410375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vagueness-timothy-williamson-9780415139809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
