Abstract

This chapter explores higher-order indeterminacy. There is indeterminacy if there is a question that has no answer. Meanwhile, there is a higher-order indeterminacy when it is indeterminate whether a certain question has an answer. There might not be any higher-order indeterminacy, but in case there is, two accounts of it are offered in the discussion. These accounts look at unsettledness as a status disjoint from truth, falsehood, and indeterminacy; and unsettledness as compatible with other statuses. This suggests that there must be some additional status in addition to: _true_, _false_, and _indeterminate_. A proposition is _unsettled_ if there is no answer to the question, whether it is true, false, or indeterminate. The theory from earlier chapters can be accommodated within either account.
