Hi, totally new here, think ill spend alot of time here now i've found this place.

Anyone ever read "Fussy Logic", i think this book is great for showing us a different concept to the aristotle/newtonian world that we westerners have grown up in.

I think that's "Fuzzy Logic", but Fussy is alright too. Welcome.

"Fuzzy logic" is, of course, a technical term, but I also think of it as the usual way we engage the world. We may break every rule, but unconsciously we make sense to ourselves. That private, covert or implicit logic becomes a problem only when we present it to other minds: then it has to pass as public, overt and explicit reasonableness.

If you're referring to Bart Kosko's "Fuzzy Thinking," I've read it, and have commented upon it elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you're referring to something actually called "Fussy Logic," then you'll have to be more specific. Most logicians are pretty fussy.

You'll find a few on this board that engage in "Fussy Logic," especially if you don't agree with them on every single thing 100%. Very Happy

I've also witnessed quite a few political commentators engaging in Fussy Logic when trying to defend their particular candidate.
