Vagueness and Moral Dilemmas

Post date: Jan 29, 2010 9:20:34 AM

Moral dilemmas served as inspiration for treatment of vagueness as involving two principles-dependent normative requirements that cannot both be satisfied, leading to incoherence. This incoherence is weak however and not a strong contradiction. The appropriate manner of tackling dilemmas and boundarylessness is respecting principles, but not following them in each and every instance. A zen attitude offers itself, as refusal to follow forced march sorites sequence requirements. The question is what can transvaluationist vagueness treatment offer to an approach to moral dilemmas.
