[ExI] papers on logic

[Dan]

Fuzzy logic doesn't exhaust the field of non-classical logics* -- and its (and 
their) application is much further afield than law and politics. E.g., a common 
way of explaining fuzzy logic (and fuzzy set theory) is to use examples from 
everyday life, such as saying "X is old" or "Y is tall." All people I know use 
such qualities outside of law and politics.

(I reckon one can make a distinction between law and politics.)

Regards,

Dan

* Think of the various modal logics, relevant logics, and intuitionistic logic. 
See Graham Priest's _Introduction to Non-Classical Logic_ for an overview of 
some of these.

Hi Dan,
Many years ago I was interested in that sort of fuzzy logic they use in law and 
in  politics. Not sure there is a difference between law and
politics though ;-)
