In Praise of Imprecision (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798883561688)

This work, with its seemingly provocative title (In Praise of Imprecision), consists of a philosophical reflection that tends to show, in simple and clear language, that all human activities, whether in the sphere of thinking (ideas), feeling (feelings), or acting (actions), are characterized by imprecision. This is true both for activities directed at "single" objects or events, and for activities directed at "classes" of objects or events, including most scientific statements. But imprecision turns out to be of great benefit to all human activities, because it allows us to deal with an immense amount of data that would be impossible if we were striving for precision. Of course, there are different degrees of imprecision, but the degree of imprecision suitable for human nature can only be defined imprecisely. Because of the relevance of the topics covered, this book may be of interest to philosophers and all those who enjoy cultural insights.
