Supervaluational treatments of vagueness are currently quite popular among those who regard vagueness as a thoroughly semantic phenomenon. Peter Unger’s ‘problem of the many’ may be regarded as arising from the vagueness of our ordinary physical‐object terms, so it is not surprising that supervaluational solutions to Unger’s problem have been offered. I argue that supervaluations do not afford an adequate solution to the problem of the many. Moreover, the considerations I raise against the supervaluational solution tell also against the solution to the problem of the many which is suggested by adherents of the epistemic theory of vagueness
