منطق فازی اولین بار در پی تنظیم نظریهٔ مجموعه های فازی به وسیلهٔ پروفسور لطفی زاده (پروفسورلطفی علی عسکرزاده) (۱۹۶۵ م) در صحنهٔ محاسبات نو ظاهر شد.
واژه فازی به معنای غیردقیق، ناواضح و مبهم (شناور) است.
منطق فازی از منطق ارزشهای "صفر و یک" نرمافزارهای کلاسیک فراتر رفته و درگاهی جدید برای دنیای علوم نرمافزاری و رایانهها میگشاید، زیرا فضای شناور و نامحدود بین اعداد صفر و یک را نیز در منطق و استدلالهای خود به کار برده و به چالش میکشد.

Its the singer, not the song... and I didn't finish this book after the basic concept had been explained and it got repetitive.
I like the concept and had come to a lot of the same conclusions myself:
* reading philosophy when I should have been studying harder for engineering
* getting bitterly disappointed with "AI" and more interested in ANN
* getting totally disillusioned with academics
But then I built a bridge, got over it and used my "fuzzy" insight for getting on with a career in engineering ...more

Most of the book is a lengthy, lame, boring and fuzzy introduction to the concept of fuzziness. Long sections are dedicated to claiming how clever the author is - alongside with his mentor and some other people he likes - and about how all of them have suffered because their talent and theories have been misunderstood by a bunch of nitwits.
There is a superficial introduction to fuzzy theory as well. You can find better ones for free on the net.

Probably more or less ok. This book took me 20 years to get around to reading. It wasn't worth the wait but I'm still glad I read it.
I haven't read others' opinions of this book; I have a suspicion it will have been 'debunked' by many reviews. This book explained a very valuable metaphor for thinking about imperfect information and uncertainty. Unfortunately, "fuzzy logic" was oversimplified in the collective consciousness, and then was dismissed as nothing more than probability.

Mostly boring. If you are into electronics, you might find this book interesting. There are islands of interesting bits in a sea of mundane text.
I won't say that the book was boring. It was certainly informative. But I think the author could have done a better job of arranging the text in a more interesting manner.
Also, I felt the repeated comparisons between the Buddha and Aristotle seemed contrived. He could certainly have done with less comparisons.

Bart Kosko is undoubtedly a very clever man. In fact, you'd say he's some kind of polymath, throwing maths and philosophy at the page in wild, untrammelled abandon. Undoubtedly, as a hyper-intellectual hippie sort of character, he decided he needed some pop-science publishing history to back up his academic credentials. Unfortunately, he decided to make up a subject, and even after he did that, he forgot to stick to it.
کتابی فوق العاده در زمینه تفکر فازی در مقابل تفکر ارسطوییه. هم به گونه ای کتاب فلسفی و هم مهندسی به نظر میاد. متن روانی داره و در جاهای مختلف با تصویرهای رنگی موضوع رو روشنتر کرده. نویسندهش یکی از شاگردان دکتر لطفی زاده بوده و مترجم هاش هم اساتید دانشگاه امیر کبیرهستند.

Recommends it for:
Soft computing enthusiast
the author "Bart Kosko" is a bright active mind. He is writing with lots of enthusiasm. But while reading his book i really liked to ask him to cool down.
Gets a up thumb from me.

Very good intro to fuzzy logic.
It's very interesting book. Don't know how to explain but I learned a thing and two about it. Worth it.
Very good for beginners .
Sometimes, when reading philosophy, I think to myself: "Yes, that's exactly what I've been trying to say for so long, I just couldn't find the words". And once I have read such a thing, the clarity is then with me permanently. This book did exactly that.
I've heard it said that all philosophy is just the footnotes to Plato and Aristotle. I tend to agree (not counting my main man Wittgenstein) but I think everyone has spent 2500 years being misled by them. Better foundations of logic can be seen i ...more

So ist das mit dem fussy thinking. Alles ist fuzzy. Vielleicht ein Gedanke, der zu offensichtlich ist, um als genial erkannt zu werden. Und doch ist er es wahrscheinlich. Es ist ein Unterschied, sehe ich ein, ob man einer Aussage eine Wahrscheinlichkeit zuspricht oder fuzziness. Ein Auto parkt irgendwo auf dem Parkplatz aber nicht im Slot. Dann steht er natürlich nicht mit einer gewissen Wahrscheinlichkeit auf dem einen, mit einer gewissen auf einem anderen.

Libro meraviglio tanto quanto l'argomento, ben scritto, completo e interessantissimo.
Il leggerlo ha cambiato la mia vita: adesso non riesco più a identificarmi con questa o quella religione, o partito politico, ma mi definisco "Fuzzy" in tutto: Kosko mi ha aiutato a comprendere come le categorie sono illusioni della mente, perché la realtà vive all'interno dei confini, e non sui confini.

Sure, he gets a bit woo-ey near the end, but the content is too important to let that get in the way of reading this book and understanding what Fuzzy Logic has to offer (not just technology, but also), say, the justice system.

Mind-expanding reading!
The concepts are presented clearly and precisely. What is kind of amazing is that modern day neural networks often use a lot of what was presented here in 1993.
Interesting book, but as noted in one other review here review, not particularly well written. I found myself skimming the later chapters just to read the quotes Kosko included. Short summaries (dumping the math) could be "It depends" or "there is no black and white" or to use his own statement "everything is a matter of degree". I had this on my shelf and picked it up while reading Michael Shermer's "How We Believe" to follow up on a reference Shermer made. While not a fuzzy activist, I recogni

Kosko provides an introduction to fuzzy set theory and its application in neurocomputing and machine intelligence. Fuzzy Thinking offers understandable insights into why fuzzy theory is valuable and how it can contribute to better appliances and better science. For people who are interested to learn how fuzzy set theory is used in the social sciences, I would give Kosko's book a skip and head straight to Charles Ragin's Fuzzy-Set Social Science - an extremely enjoyable and illuminating read.
Some decent ideas in this book, but they get overshadowed by the author's Promethean comparison of how his colleagues and he brought the fire of fuzzy logic to the temples of Aristotelean logic. there it was not welcome, but in Asian countries who follow The Buddha it was welcomed. Now America faces a great challenge that only the long-suffering author can set to rights.
Slow on dealing the knowledge, and long in the persecution. This is more memoir than edifying.

Rereading a gift from my high school math teacher!
P125: And if numbers are fuzzy, everything is. And everything is.
P127: Fights break out when some person or some group or some government tries to round us off their way, tries to make us all A or all not-A, tries to turn our fits to bits and squash our fuzziness. In this sense voting just asks for trouble.

Not everything is black or white--true or false. But modern western logic does not appreciate the gray. Kosko thinks it should and thinks he also knows how.
You'll like it, if you like it, for all of the philosophy, not for the logical system he proposes: he talks a lot about eastern vs. western philosophy.

Much ado about nothing. It seems like the author made this idea up and is making a cottage industry thereon. Fuzzy logic? Isn't that a lot like...I don't know...Analog? That's what it sounded like to me.
A waste of time. Give it a pass.

Great entry point for the uninitiated with Fuzzy Logic concepts.
Not a bad introduction to the concept, but I remember disliking the author's writing style. I sold my copy of the book.
