| Abstract | It is well-known that in combination with further premises that look less controversial, the tolerance principle – the constraint that if Pa holds, and a and b are similar in P-relevant respects, Pb holds as well – leads to contradiction, namely to the sorites paradox. According to many influential views of the sorites paradox (e.g. Williamson 1994), we therefore ought to reject the principle of tolerance as unsound. |
