Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse some logic and philosophical aspects of vagueness, e.g. the sources of vagueness, the paracomplete solution(s) to sorites paradox, the existence of higher-order vagueness, the soundness of Evans argument and the vagueness in semantical paradoxes. Afferent, the problems involved by the ontology constructed at the limit of paradoxicality are discussed. All these matters are considerated in a double register: with arguments pro and contra.
