Philosophical Perspectives of Fuzzy Set-theoretic Models of Causality
Jordi Cat, Indiana University, History and Philosophy of Science
12:05 pm, 817R Cathedral of Learning

Abstract: Fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory are formalisms that have found their way into many areas of science and technology. Fuzzy-set models of causality are one of the latest applications in an area in which science and philosophy overlap. I discuss the philosophical significance of such models and explore their limitations.
