Abstract

The concept of “approximate reasoning” is central to Zadeh’s contributions in logic. Standard fuzzy logic as we use today is only one potential interpretation of Zadeh’s concept. I discuss various meanings for the syntagme "approximate reasoning" as intuitively presented in the paper Zadeh dedicated to the memory of Grigore C. Moisil in 1975.
