Fuzzy philosophy of science and education

Scientific consequences are dependent on premisses that are logical propositions of the phenomena concerned. Propositions are verbal and linguistic statements, and at the initial philosophical thinking stage they all include vaguneness and imprecision. As more scientific evidence becomes available either rationally or empirically proposition validity degree increases at the cost of vagueness. In some societies scientific propositions are assumed directly as absolutely correct, but in philospohical thinking they are valid with some uncertainty. Recent trend of falsifaibility of sceintific propositions brings into view fuzzy ingradients, which have not yet have wide spread recognition. Objective probability attachment to scientific statements is a difficult task, and therefore, subjective (Bayesian) proportions are attached in practice. After a detailed account of what are the advacoters and opponents to scientific absolute correctness and probability, a fuzzy thinking and consequently, membership degree attachments rather than probability are presented by in this paper. Classical education systems are based on very systematic, crisp and organized framework on the basis of more than 25-century old Aristotalian logic with two opposite outcomes. Almost in every corner of information source gray fore and back grounds prevail. It is a big dilemma how to deal with gray information sources in order to arrive at scientific conclusions with crisp and deterministic logical principles. Fuzzy logic principles with linguistically valid propositions and rather vague categorization provide a sound ground for this purpose. The preliminary step is a genuine logical and uncertain conceptualization of the phenomenon with causal and result variables that are combined through the fuzzy logical propositions in a set of rules. Such an approach helps not only to visualize the relationships between different variables logically, but furnishes a philosophical background about the mechanism of the phenomenon that can be presented to anybody linguistically without any mathematical treatment. It is emphasized in this paper that in an innovative education system, the basic philosophy and fuzzy logic justifications in any problem solving should be given linguistically prior to any crisp bases such as mathematics or systematic, mechanical and crisp algorithms. In this way the student may be able to develop creative and analytical thinking capabilities with the support of teachers who can provide analytical thinking principles. Since, the modern philosophy of science insists on the falsification of current scientific results, there are always room for ambiguity, vagueness, imprecision and fuzziness in
