Abstract

The aim of this essay is to present the mathematical theory of fuzzy sets as an instrument for the data treatment in the field of social sciences. First, we will expound on some of the methodological questions that interest us concerning the process of scientific research. Specifically, we will focus on such methodological questions relating to uncertainty, truth, validity and information. These topics will lead us to propose the relevance of the theory of fuzzy sets as a method for the treatment of uncertainty in the field of social sciences. Secondly, we will expound a brief description of the theory of fuzzy sets, explaining some of it most fundamental elements. Following this, we will show a sample application of the mathematical theory of fuzzy sets using as its basis the data extracted from a questionnaire on Linguistic Politics given to the members of the Parlament de Catalunya (Llei 1/1998; 7th of January 1998).
