Rough Sets and Sorites Paradox

We discuss the rough set approach to approximation of vague concepts. There are already published several papers on rough sets and vague concepts staring from the seminal papers by Zdzis law Pawlak. However, only a few of them are discussing the relationships of rough sets with the sorites paradox. This paper contains a continuation of discussion on this issue.
