2.0 out of 5 stars A surplus of whining over substance., 12 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Fuzzy Thinking: The New Science of Fuzzy Logic (Paperback)
Fuzzy logic is an important new branch of science which will have an increasing effect on all of our lives. Ben Kosko spoils what could have been a fascinating study of subject by spending too much time talking about Buddhist philosophy, criticising academic establishments for not funding his research and branding other branches of science as fundamentally flawed because they have not needed to use his beloved fuzzy logic.

When he finally gets round to it, he explains the basics of fuzzy logic clearly. The examples of fuzzy controls systems that he discusses are well suited to illustrate the basics of the subject but are too trivial to be the only detailed examples given. A discussion of more complex systems would have been welcome.

If you only have time to read one book about fuzzy logic forget this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and stimulating introduction to Fuzzy Logic, 15 Jan 2002
This review is from: Fuzzy Thinking: The New Science of Fuzzy Logic (Paperback)
Until I encountered this book I had know idea what fuzzy logic was. I believe the book has been written, primarily, for those who have little or know knowledge of fuzzy logic.

I found the book to be fascinating and stimulating introduction and I would recommend it to anyone who is ignorant of the subject. I would also recommend to those who have an interest in philosophy, Buddhism and science.

When I read the book it caused dramatic paradigm shifts and it altered my who view of the world. I am no expert on the subject of fuzzy logic, so I cannot comfortably recommend it to any one who has any more than a vaguest notion of this fascinating subject, since it is unlikely they will find it as stimulating and enlightening as I.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does Science really work like this?, 26 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Fuzzy Thinking: The New Science of Fuzzy Logic (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book not because it was a very precise description of fuzzy logic but because it gives an insiders view of how science works. I am afraid that the backstabbing and irrational maligning that the author describes actually does take place, and it definately hinders the search for the truth. Most of the other reviewers seem to demand a very precise account. If you want that read a journal paper, however reading one man's rant can be enlightening. The gossip and bitching is part and parcel of science and this book contributes to this in no small way.
