Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many-valued logics were developed as an attempt to handle philosophical doubts about the "law of the excluded middle" in classical logic. This discussion, which began in the 1920s, has greatly expanded in recent years with the development of various logical systems including fuzzy and approximation logic. While acquainting the reader with the theoretical fundamentals, the text serves as a kind of compass, pointing out which logical system best answers a particular type of problem.
