Abstract
A concept of fuzzy deontic set is introduced that makes it possible to represent moral and legal norms as fuzzy deontic rules. As numerical fuzzy rules, they enable the formulation of comparative norms. And as qualitative fuzzy rules, they may aid fuzzy deontic decision making in ethics, law, and medicine. The emerging field of research is termed fuzzy deontics.
