Summary/Abstract: In this article, I will present the role of some non-classical logics with regard to certain logical problems known as sorites paradoxes. I will analyze the terms and the specific characteristics of these logics and at the same time I will highlight the shortcomings of some of these with regard to the logical problems in question. On the one hand, I will present arguments as to which of the considered logics are suited to overcome the sorites paradoxes and I will offer my interpretations of the problem. On the other hand, I will propose two of my own approaches through which it is possible to resolve the sorites paradoxes: the first of these approaches is heterogeneous, and the second is based on three-valued logic.
