Abstract
My first significant contact with issues concerning imprecision and vagueness was through the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), when I was preparing in Germany my doctoral thesis in philosophy for over forty years. I came to Zadeh, when I read some of his key works and especially in 1985 when I had occasion to spend a few months near him at the Computer Science Division of UC Berkeley.
