Beall says that “Everybody agrees that if classical logic is
non-negotiable, then epistemicism is the best response to the sorites (and
vagueness, generally).” What am I then, chopped liver? I don’t quite think
classical logic is non-negotiable, but I think it is at the end of the day
correct, and I’m not an epistemicist. (My middle ground, my Third Way, is
detailed here.) I used to think Delia Graff also fit
the category of someone who took classical logic to be non-negotiable, but it now
seems that she takes her contextualist theory of vagueness to be a supplement
to, rather than a competitor with, epistemicism.
