Epistemic foundations of fuzziness. Unified theories on decision-choice processes (Q951226)

The referred volume is the second part of a series of author's monographs on fuzziness and uncertainty with regards to the rational behavior (the first volume is [\textit{K. K. Dompere}, Fuzziness and Approximate Reasoning. Tudies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing 237. (Berlin): Springer. (2009; Zbl 1162.91003)]). The formal structure and the style of the presentation is very close to the volume mentioned above. Particular chapters include few of mathematics consisting of mostly descriptive concepts and formulas. the contents is divided into six main chapters devoted to epistemic foundations of fuzzy mathematics, and to several aspects of rationality in the decision-choice, like its dynamics, classical and non-classical models of the decision-making process, or its contradictions and paradoxes. The very rich list of references, divided by particular subjects, includes more than 1700 items, and it is identical with that list in the first volume mentioned above.
