Handbook of Management Under Uncertainty (Book Review) (Book Review‪)‬

edited by Jaime Gil-Aluja, 2001, Kluwer Academic Publishers, New York, NY Western science throughout centuries has been constructed taking as one of its unquestionable supports the excluded middle principle [...]. A single logical operator allows for the linking of proposals by means of two modes ("ponens" and "tollens'). At the present time and as a consequence of repeatedly stated reasons [...], it is not possible to base all research activity on the excluded middle principle. This is the starting point, as stated by the editor, on which this Handbook seems to be based. A brief introduction outlines the pattern that is followed in the volume--from the objectivity of reality to the algorithms needed to deal with uncertainty--as well as the principle that inspired the choice of contributors.
