Schopenhauer's prolegomenon to fuzziness (Q702292)

The author claims that the German philosopher Schopenhauer has been a forerunner of fuzzy sets methodology, mainly based upon the observation that Schopenhauer used to refer to incompleteness of abstraction, to concept-spheres, and to the approximative character of human knowledge. But the whole argument somehow looks like: WE can explain some of Schopenhauer's ideas well using the notion of fuzzy set, HENCE HE is a forerunner of fuzzy sets.
