The Unity and Plurality of Vague Perception

Some perceptual experiences appear vague. How should a representationalist about perception explain vague perceptual experiences? I argue that paradigmatic representationalist views of perceptual vagueness such as the perceptual confidence view and the determinable content view are phenomenologically inadequate because they fail to satisfy plausible phenomenological desiderata for any view of perceptual vagueness. I develop a phenomenologically adequate view within a modified capacitist framework. The developed view has repercussions for other problematic cases such as double vision and Anscombe’s matchboxes.
