Supervaluationism and necessarily borderline sentences
Pablo Cobreros University of Navarra Abstract The supervaluationist theory of vagueness is committed to a particular notion of logical consequence known as global validity. According to a recent objection, this notion of consequence is more problematic than is usually thought since i) it bears a commitment to some sort of bizarre inferences, ii) this commitment threatens the internal coherence ...
متن کاملSupervaluationism and Classical Logic
The supervaluationist theory of vagueness provides a notion of logical consequence that is akin to classical consequence. In the absence of a definitely operator, supervaluationist consequence coincides with classical consequence. In the presence of ‘definitely ’, we might find counterexamples to classically valid patterns of inference within supervaluationist reasoning. Foes of supervaluationi...
متن کاملSupervaluationism and Its Logics
If we adopt a supervaluational semantics for vagueness, what sort of logic results? As it turns out, the answer depends crucially on how the standard notion of validity as truth preservation is recasted. There are several ways of doing that within a supervaluational framework, the main alternative being between ‘global’ construals (e.g., an argument is valid if and only if it preserves truth-un...
متن کاملOrdering Supervaluationism, Counterpart eory, and Ersatz Fundamentality
Many philosophical theories make comparisons between objects, events, states of affairs, worlds, or systems, and many such theories deliver plausible verdicts only if some of the elements they compare are ranked as ‘best.’ When the relevant ordering does not have such ‘best’ or ‘tied for best’ elements the theory wrongly falls silent or gives badly counterintuitive results. I call these limit a...
