Indeterminacy (philosophy)

Indeterminacy in philosophy means that there is no definite answer or solution to a problem or question. This is like when you ask your mom what you should wear today, but there's no clear answer because it depends on the weather or what you're doing. In philosophy, there are some questions that have no clear answer, and some problems that can't be solved definitively, because they're open to interpretation or there are different opinions about what's right or wrong. Think of it like a big puzzle that we're all trying to put together, but some of the pieces are missing and we can't see the whole picture clearly. Indeterminacy means that there may be more than one right answer or solution, and it's up to us to think about what makes the most sense to us.
