Abstract
This study is about the fuzzy and unpredictable nature of social life. Two themes are developed. The first describes and critiques a methodological approach to social systems intervention for improvement. The second theme comprises a propositional questioning about the nature of social systems from a fuzzy logic framework. The crucial role of fuzzy logic is demonstrated in such fields of social inquiry as conversation mapping, heuristic pattern formation, emergence of meaning, multy-layered interpretation, study of temporality and non-foundational thinking.
