Fuzzy Logic and Sorites Paradox : The Problem of Missing Input

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Sorites paradoxes are a class of paradoxical arguments which arise as a result of using vague terms such as ?heap?, ?bald?, or ?tall?. Vague terms, in contrast with precise terms, lack precise boundaries of application. There are objects to which a) thevague term applies, b) the vague term does not apply, and c) it is uncertain whether vague term applies or not (so called borderline cases). In borderline cases it is uncertain whether the vague term in question applies to them or not. Moreover, this uncertainty cannot be resolved by any enquiry. When we are asked whether some person is tall, we take only his height into consideration. When said person measures 150 centimetres, we are inclined to say that the person in not tall. When that person measures 220 centimetres, we would not hesitate calling that person tall. We, however, would not be so sure about a person measuring 184 centimetres. Yet we would be sure that a person measuring 190 centimetres is taller than a person measuring
