Deviant Logic, Fuzzy Logic:

Initially proposed as rivals of classical logic, alternative logics have become increasingly important in areas such as computer science and artificial intelligence. Fuzzy logic, in particular, has motivated major technological developments in recent years.

Susan Haack'sDeviant Logicprovided the first extended examination of the philosophical consequences of alternative logics. In this new volume, Haack includes the complete text ofDeviant Logic, as well as five additional papers that expand and update it. Two of these essays critique fuzzy logic, while three augmentDeviant Logic's treatment of deduction and logical truth. Haack also provides an extensive new foreword, brief introductions to the new essays, and an updated bibliography of recent work in these areas.

Deviant Logic, Fuzzy Logicwill be indispensable to students of philosophy, philosophy of science, linguistics, mathematics, and computer science, and will also prove invaluable to experienced scholars working in these fields.
