Abstract

In 1978, Gareth Evans published a short and somewhat cryptic
 article purporting to establish that there are no vague objects. This
 paper is a commentary on this. Prima facie, the claim that there
 are no vague objects is clearly false. Mt Everest, for example, has no
 precise boundaries. And if this is so, there must be something wrong
 with Evans' argument. In the paper, I discuss what this is, giving a
 model of vague objects in the process.
