We may take for instance a content S -P, not yet asserted, and may claim for modality the power of affirming this content S -P, unaltered and unqualified, in several ways. ...
The temptation is one to which we are much less like to submit these days, with modality now treated using object-language operators which enter into the general pattern of assertoric claims. ...

We introduce modal logical systems, with generalized operators, for the precise treatment of assertions involving some versions of such vague notions. ...
Vague notions, such as 'generally', 'rarely', 'often', 'almost always', 'a meaningful subset of a whole', 'most', etc., occur often in ordinary language and in some branches of science. ...
Modal Logics for 'Generally' and 'Rarely' In this section, we examine modal logics to deal with vague notions. ...

Most descriptions of higher-order vagueness in terms of traditional modal logic generate so-called higher-order vagueness paradoxes. The one that doesn't (Williamson's) is problematic otherwise. ...
However, there is no need for this. ...
The phrase 'one cannot tell whether' is used as a natural language standin for borderlineness as defined modally in this paper. ...

I argue that a commitment to the soundness of the argument from vagueness for temporal parts compels one to commit to the soundness of the argument from vagueness for modal parts. ...
Rather, I will present a version of the argument from vagueness, which-if successful-commits one to the existence of modal parts. ...
My initial definition of modal part assumed that the modal notion of 'world-bound' is the modal analog of the temporal notion of 'instantaneous'. ...

For one thing, it exploits a strong analogy between vagueness on the one hand and metaphysical and temporal modalities on the other. ...
But this notion of a precisified world is just one of many precisifications of the originally vague notion of precisified world. ...

S4M is one of the modal counterparts of the intuitionistic sentential calculus (IPC) and we use this fact to explain why IPC is the correct sentential logic to use when reasoning with vague statements. ...
S4M opens the way to an account of higher-order vagueness which avoids the paradoxes that have been thought to infect the notion. ...

The main problem in this case is philosophical interpretation of modality. Minor problems include shared content, many leveled self-referential structures and vagueness. ...
As for the action logics, mentalistic logic also studies rational behavior but does it on the other lever and often with a different purpose. ...
They can be grouped into three particular issues: vagueness, many leveled and self-referential structures and shared content. Vagueness is a fundamental notion for mental processes. ...

This paper explains these unexpected vagueness effects by adopting a modal theory of the progressive and a gradable theory of modality. ...
It is then possible to explain vagueness effects in the progressive as a result of the same semantic phenomena that generate vagueness effects in gradable adjectives like healthy. ...
This dependence on some notion of 'the normal course of events' is a hallmark of modal theories of the progressive. 13 Without undertaking the Herculean (or maybe Sisyphean) task of explicating this notion ...
