Abstract

It may be argued, rather persuasively, that most of the concepts encountered in various domains of human knowledge are, in reality, much too complex to admit of simple or precise definition. This is true, for example, of the concepts of recession and utility in economics; schizophrenia and arthritis in medicine; stability and adaptivity in system theory; sparseness and stiffness in numerical analysis; grammaticality and meaning in linguistics; performance measurement and correctness in computer science; truth and causality in philosophy; intelligence and creativity in psychology; and obscenity and insanity in law.
