Abstract

Fuzziology explores the fuzziness inherent in what we know about ourselves and our experience, about our thoughts and feelings, drives for understanding and urges to create. By studying the fuzziness – its nature, sources, causes and factors affecting its dynamics, we are able to transcend the limitations, which it constantly puts on the processes of our understanding and knowing. The basic postulate and paradox of fuzziology are formulated together with its main principles, logical tools and theorems. The link between Socrates' maieutic inquiry, the ancient Vedic wisdom and fuzziology has helped us to reveal the significance of its central maxim: “Do not reject anything, but do not remain with anything either; go beyond!”
