Fuzzy logic: The origin and future of non-Aristotelian thinking

The history of logic tells us that the binary-based logic proposed by Aristotle was, and continues to be, a pervasive force. Logic does, however, have a complex history and, in more recent years, the concept of 'fuzzy-logic' has emerged as a counter to the rigidity of Aristotelian logic and decision making. Fuzzy logic is an attempt to bridge the gap between mathematics and the fuzzy way humans naturally talk, think, and interact with the world. Edy Portmann is a transdisciplinary researcher and professor of soft and cognitive computing at the Human-IST Institute of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. As president of the Swiss-based FMsquare Foundation, Portmann is a fuzzy-logic evangelist on a mission to raise awareness of the importance of non-Aristotelian thinking in science and technology. Read more about the research at: FMsquare Foundation Check out the: International FMsquare Springer book series
