vagueness
The condition of being unclear; vague
Something which is vague, or an instance or example of vagueness

If a man's deep and conscientious regard for the truth be such that he cannot, consistently with the requisitions of his moral nature, repeat to others mere vaguenesses and uncertainties, he will naturally give such strict and serious attention to the present objects of inquiry and knowledge, that they will remain in his memory afterward with remarkable distinctness and permanency.

Condition of being unclear; vague
{i} unclarity; ambiguity
The characteristic of words or phrases whose meaning is not determined with precision Use of one or more vague terms typically renders it impossible to establish the truth or falsity of the sentences in which they appear Example: "The temperature is warm today " is difficult to evaluate because there is no clear borderline between "warm" and "not warm" Note the difference between vagueness and ambiguity Recommended Reading: Timothy Williamson, Vagueness (Routledge, 1996) {at Amazon com}; Vagueness: A Reader, ed by Rosanna Keefe and Peter Smith (MIT, 1999) {at Amazon com}; Roy Sorensen, Vagueness and Contradiction (Oxford, 2001) {at Amazon com}; Linda Claire Burns, Vagueness: An Investigation into Natural Languages and the Sorites Paradox (Kluwer, 1991) {at Amazon com}; and Rosanna Keefe, Theories of Vagueness (Cambridge, 2001) {at Amazon com} Also see OCP, SEP, noesis, FF, Adam Morton, and Loretta Torrago
