This is Roy Sorensens original treatment of the ancient problem of vagueness. According to his approach, the answer to questions like 'Did Buddha become a fat man in one second?' and 'Is there a tallest short giraffe?' is yes! This title says serious things about language and logic, about the way the world is and about our understanding of it.
