# FineImpossVagueness (1) **Opening (not a real abstract):** Kit Fine has presented a proof for the impossibility of vagueness1 . Since there obviously is vagueness, the moral to be taken is not that there is no vagueness but rather that something is wrong with the proof. But the popular theories of vagueness are impotent in diagnosing what is wrong. As a result those popular theories are committed to the undesirable claim that the phenomena they purport to explain is itself impossible. Fine hints at how we might refute the proof, admitting that it requires a radical revision of our current notion of indeterminacy; give up any account of indeterminacy solely in terms of single cases (what he calls the ‘local aspect’ of indeterminacy) and suitably modify classical logic. But we needn’t pursue either – classical logic (for the most part) can remain intact
