Summary:

"The editors have assembled a diverse and stellar collection of authors to help them in bridging the interdisciplinary gap between the psychology of concepts and theorizing in fuzzy logic. This is an important undertaking and one that is long overdue, given the as yet largely untapped potential synergy at the interface of these fields."

"Thirty years ago, fuzzy set theory and cognitive science had a close relationship, centered on issues in the representation of concepts. There was a falling out, however, and each enterprise has gone its own way since. This volume attempts a rapprochement, through accessible tutorials and critical essays from each field. If the two resume a productive relationship in the future, this may well be through the efforts of the readers of this thoughtful and well-written book." Book jacket.
