Evans' Argument and Vague Objects

In 1978, Gareth Evans published a short and somewhat cryptic
article purporting to establish that there are no vague objects. This
paper is a commentary on this. Prima facie, the claim that there
are no vague objects is clearly false. Mt Everest, for example, has no
precise boundaries. And if this is so, there must be something wrong
with Evans' argument. In the paper, I discuss what this is, giving a
model of vague objects in the process.
