Shades of Reality: How the New Fuzzy Philosophy Will Change Your World View

Bob Bishop explores the concepts of reality, both as perceived and scientific, and demonstrates how preconcieved notions, grounded in local paradigms, can affect not only scientific and mechanical invention, but difficult societal issues as well. The new science of fuzzy logic is gaining acceptance in the field of engineering but the American public at large is, for the most part, unaware of the subject. Mainstream fuzzy logic has had engineering-only applications, but now, thanks to Bishop's insightful analysis, the concept has a fresh approach that should inspire an even better understanding of our perceptions of reality.
