The focus of this paper is an argument presented by Fara (2010), which is against supervaluationism in the context of vagueness. I show how it applies equally to the branching-time (BT) supervaluationism (first presented in Thomason 1970), but not to the closely related 'STRL' semantics of...

Zusammenfassung:The focus of this paper is an argument presented by Fara (2010), which is against supervaluationism in the context of vagueness. I show how it applies equally to the branching-time (BT) supervaluationism (first presented in Thomason 1970), but not to the closely related 'STRL' semantics of Malpass & Wawer (2012). Este artículo se centra en un argumento presentado por Fara (2010) en contra del supervaluacionismo en el contexto de la vaguedad. Muestro cómo dicho argumento es igualmente aplicable al supervaluacionismo de tiempo ramificado (presentado por primera vez por Thomason 1970), pero no a la semántica 'STRL' de Malpass y Wawer (2012), que está estrechamente relacionada.
