MENA, Ricardo. The Quietist’s Gambit. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.149, pp.3-30.  Epub 03-Abr-2020. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2018.08.

In this paper I develop a semantic theory of vagueness that is immune to worries regarding the use of precise mathematical tools. I call this view semantic quietism. This view has the advantage of being clearly compatible with the phenomenon of vagueness. The cost is that it cannot capture every robust semantic fact.
