followed by an historical perspective and some remarks on the future directions on
Medicine and Philosophy. Part II will deal with the relationship between Ethics and
Medicine. Part III will discuss the possible Models, Methods and Representation of
medical facts; in Part IV the Reasoning and Questioning approach will be examined,
while Part V and VI will deal respectively with Statistics and Data Analysis.
We hope the reader will find the debate around Philosophy of Medicine sparkled
by the
Handbook
and summarized in this volume as entertaining, thought-provoking
and as we have, and will join us and the other authors in what today, thanks to
Sadegh-Zadeh's intuitions and systematizations, is a lively, interesting and fruitful
discussion about the future of the role of Fuzziness in Medicine.
