In this paper, I start by showing that sorites paradoxes are inclosure paradoxes.
That is, they fit the Inclosure Scheme which characterizes the paradoxes of
self-reference. Given that sorites and self-referential paradoxes are of the
same kind, they should have the same kind of solution. The rest of the paper
investigates what a dialetheic solution to sorites paradoxes is like,
connections with a dialetheic solution to the self-referential paradoxes, and
related issues—especially so called "higher order" vagueness.
