Abstract
The present paper should mainly be considered as an elementary introduction to the motivations for using fuzzy concepts. We laid especial stress on providing arguments of rationality for the underlying logic. Some generalizations and applications of fuzzy sets have also been considered. For lack of space it was however not possible even to mention some applications in the following interesting fields: game — and decision theory, automata and algorithms, pattern recognition and cluster analysis. Also we will not report about progress in fuzzy algebra, fuzzy topological spaces, fuzzy graphs and so on. Some of these topics will be treated by other authors in this book some other fields, especially decision theory and its foundation, will be investigated by the present author in the near future.
