Rosanna Keefe

Rosanna Keefe is a philosopher known for her work on vagueness, which is the idea that some concepts, like "bald" or "tall," lack precise boundaries. That means there can be cases where it's unclear whether something falls into a category. Keefe explores how language and logic handle these ambiguities, arguing that vagueness is a natural part of communication and thought. Her work delves into how we can understand and discuss vague terms without requiring strict definitions, emphasizing the importance of context and the limitations of our language in capturing the complexity of real-world situations.
