- Summary:
- Argues that William James' plea for the 'reinstatement of the vague' to its proper place in our experience should be regarded as a seminal metaphor for this thought in general. This book affirms the importance of the vague in two concrete areas: the doctor-patient relationship in medicine and the creating and experiencing of modern art.
