Abstract

This is another insight into the genesis of the theory of fuzzy sets and systems in the life of its founder Lotfi A. Zadeh. We present some historical roots of the theory of fuzzy systems and their further development to Computing with Words (CWW) and the Computational Theory of Perceptions (CTP).
