Fuzzy Logic as a Theory of Vagueness: 15 Conceptual Questions

In spite of its successes as a tool in the field of engineering, fuzzy set theory has yet to achieve the universal footing that probability theory has across the various fields of mathematics, technology, philosophy and psychology. This paper sets out points of critique brought up regarding the fuzzy approach and seeks to analyze them, focusing on the question of whether anything that can be done about these matters. Do these criticisms have any practical relevance or any relevance with respect to the intended fields of usage. Do they or do they not diminish fuzzy logic’s suitability as a theory of vagueness?
