Higher-Order Vagueness and Numbers of Distinct Modalities
Disputatio (39):131-137 (2014)
Abstract
This paper shows that the following common assumption is false: that in modal-logical representations of higher-order vagueness, for there to be borderline cases to borderline cases ad infinitum, the number of possible distinct modalities in a modal system must be infinite.
