Ambiguity has an important and often essential role to play in all areas of meaningful thought, expression, and claims to truth. Amicable Ambiguity explores areas of thought and experience where conceptual and discursive ambiguity can be the amicable friend of intelligibility and convincingness rather than their sworn enemy.
