   Lionel Cox to All   
   Fuzzy Logic & the Human Sciences

   Zadehs' original paper on Fuzzy Logic was published in 1965 (Zadeh 1965). He   
   said of the reasons behind his publication:   
      
   "I felt that in the case of systems other than mechanistic systems, e.g.   
   biological systems, economic systems, and so on, we need something like that   
   [Fuzzy], because in the realm of such 'humanistic systems' - as I referred   
   to them at that time - there is much more complexity." (KI 2001)   
      
   Well I appear not to be able to find people who have worked with fuzzy in   
   the human science field. By this I mean sociology. Could anyone please give   
   me leads as to journal articles, papers, books that may cover this topic.   
   Even better would be to 'talk' to people who have worked or studied this   
   field of fuzzy.
