The monograph is an examination of the fuzzy rational foundations
of the structure of exact and inexact sciences over the
epistemological space which is distinguished from the ontological
space. It is thus concerned with the demarcation problem. It
examines exact science and its critique of inexact science. The
role of fuzzy rationality in these examinations is presented. The
driving force of the discussions is the nature of the information
that connects the cognitive relational structure of the
epistemological space to the ontological space for knowing. The
knowing action is undertaken by decision-choice agents who must
process information to derive exact-inexact or true-false
conclusions. The information processing is done with a paradigm and
laws of thought that constitute the input-output machine. The
nature of the paradigm selected depends on the nature of the
information structure that is taken as input of the thought
processing. Generally, the information structure received from the
ontological space is defective from the simple principles of
acquaintances and the limitations of cognitive agents operating in
the epistemological space. How then do we arrive and claim
exactness in our knowledge-production system? The general
conclusion of this book is that the conditions of the fuzzy
paradigm with its laws of thought and mathematics present a
methodological unity of exact and inexact sciences where every zone
of thought has fuzzy covering.
