This article is nearly impossible to read and it should be maybe a few paragraphs long, max. Temerarius (talk) 09:18, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ordinary Language

[edit]

I'm way too tired to do anything but I do want to note that the ordinary language section would benefit greatly from a semiotic perspective. Urmarkt (talk) 07:38, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not accept this criticism. In writing this article, I base myself on a lifetime of research experience, like, 35 years, including working as a research statistician in survey design. What the hell is a "semiotic perspective"? I studied with a leading Australian semiologist specializing in forms design. Constructive suggestions and improvements are welcome, but not "fuzzy" criticisms which mean nothing. Admittedly there is little theoretical literature on the logical and semantic properties of fuzzy concepts, but the term is widely used in scientific discourse. It therefore merits a wiki entry.

The irony in the notion of choice for de Groot's analysis (#Psychology)

[edit]

     Hello, I am debating whether or not to draw readers' attention to the irony in the notion that Dutch theologian Kees de Groot has analyzed and defined as a fuzzy concept: 'that psychotherapy is like an "implicit religion" ... (it all depends on what one means by "psychotherapy" and "religion")' (#Psychology, ¶2 [not counting the bulleted list]). More precisely, I mean to say that the notion, a fuzzy concept itself, compares the vast collections of countless other fuzzy concepts that psychology and religion contain, on which psychotherapy and theology are respectively based. The next section down, #Applications, affirms the idea that religion generally contains systems of fuzzy concepts whose possible meanings are highly personalized and postulated through hermeneutics; perhaps there could even be an additional note along the lines of: "(See [[Fuzzy concept#Applications|Applications]] below)." However, I am not sure if it is really necessary or fitting for an encyclopedia to bring readers' attention to this bit of information. Therefore, I am requesting editors' input pertinent to this issue.

Thank you,

It is not really the purpose of the article to ironize the use of the concept, although an ironical use of the concept could be noted neutrally if there is evidence of such. The article should be "neutral", and just mention the various viewpoints and uses there are. However, possibly the bit about Kees de Groot could be shifted to the paragraph about religious applications of fuzzy concepts.

Completing the article

[edit]

I have done more work on the article to improve and reference it, with better layout. I had to do it initially under my own IP address 85.148.154.58 but have now be able to create a new wiki account. User: Jurriaan2 —Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've just linked from sustainability to here and wonder if we can also link in the other direction? My suggestion is based on this paper. EMsmile (talk) 10:10, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
