This book is a collection of contributions written by philosophers
and scientists active in different fields, such as mathematics,
logics, social sciences, computer sciences and linguistics. They
comment on and discuss various parts of and subjects and
propositions introduced in the Handbook of Analytical Philosophy of
Medicine from Kadem Sadegh-Zadeh, published by Springer in 2012.
This volume reports on the fruitful exchange and debate that arose
in the fuzzy community upon the publication of the Handbook. This
was not only very much appreciated by the community but also seen
as a critical starting point for beginning a new discussion. The
results of this discussion, which involved many different
perspectives from science and the humanities and was warmly
encouraged by Kadem Sadegh-Zadeh himself, are accurately reported
in this volume, which is intended to be a critical companion to
Kadem Sadegh-Zadehs handbook. Rudolf Seising is currently an
adjunct researcher at the European Centre for Soft Computing in
Mieres, Asturias (Spain) and a college lecturer at the Faculty of
History and Arts, at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich
(Germany). Marco Elio Tabacchi is currently the Scientific Director
of the Italian National Research & Survey Organization
Demopolis, and a research assistant in the Soft Computing Group at
University of Palermo (Italy).
This book furthers the historical and technical debate by looking
at reasoning as the action of language when it is devoted to
explaining or foretelling, based on the authors' centennial
combined experience in fuzzy logic. A simple logical model mixing
abductions and deductions is introduced in order to attain
speculations, conjectures that may be responsible for induction,
and creativity in reasoning. A central point and a dire hypothesis
of the book are that such process can be implemented by computation
and as such can lead to a new approach to automatic thinking and
reasoning. On top of the technical approach, the relationship
between reasoning and thinking is also analyzed trying to establish
links with notions and concepts of thinkers from the European
Middle Age to the current days. This book is recommended to young
researchers that are interested in either the scientific or
philosophical aspects of computational thinking, and can further
the debate between the two approaches.
