26Körner on Vagueness and Applied MathematicsGrazer Philosophische Studien 15 (1): 81-108. 1982.Körner's notion of vagueness, its relation to ostension and the alledged gulf between logic and experience are examined. Ostension is seen not to cause vagueness ~ there are precise concepts of mathematics which can be ostensively mtroduced. A distinction is drawn between classical logic not applymg to the vague world and not applymg to the vague language.
