A Defense of Poetry Against the Mathematicians Andrew Nightingale

This book contains two essays defending poetry against the mathematicians. The first is Nightingale's latest essay explaining how distinction, difference and recognition of variety (the usual tools to dispel vagueness), are themselves vague. Nightingale offers a web app he wrote for teaching logic with the understanding that difference, or the logical negation operation, is vague. Nightingale's dissertation done at Mahidol Univeristy, Thailand (2018) presents a significant finding that empirical investigation into vagueness is more interesting to students than precise scientific concepts. There is a selection of poetry-mostly published with some new poems.
