Abstract

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.
