In this paper we propose an approach to vagueness characterised by two features. The first one is philosophical: we move along a neo-Kantian path emphasizing the knowing subject's conceptual apparatus. The second one is formal: to face vagueness, and our philosophical view on it, we propose to use topology and formal topology. We show that the neo-Kantian and the topological features joined together allow us an atypical, but promising, way of considering vagueness.

Abstract
In this paper we propose an approach to vagueness characterised by two features. The first one is philosophical: we move along a neo-Kantian path emphasizing the knowing subject's conceptual apparatus. The second one is formal: to face vagueness, and our philosophical view on it, we propose to use topology and formal topology. We show that the neo-Kantian and the topological features joined together allow us an atypical, but promising, way of considering vagueness.
