abstract: |
In this paper we discuss the multifaceted nature of
vagueness, the limits of (standard) set theory in dealing
with the foundational aspects that a really innovating
theory of vagueness should manifest, and the difficulties in outlining the possible features that such a type of
new formalism should exhibit in order to be able to deal
with such innovative aspects. We shall highlight some
aspects of the role that Fuzzy Set Theory (FST) can
play in this process. |
