Abstract

In this brief note, my intent is to offer some personal views at fuzzy sets - a paradigm that has brought an innovative and fresh perspective to numerous endeavors to numerous disciplines in sciences, humanities, and engineering. Obviously, any historical notes of this nature are sketchy, incomplete, and highly subjective. By no means they pretend to be a fully reflective of the rich history, landscape and people forming the fuzzy set community.
