Reciprocal and Linguistic Preferences

In this note I first explain how I was interested by Fuzzy Set Theory. Among the huge variety of issues within the Fuzzy Set Theory, I briefly focus on the problem of dealing with the intensities of preference that human beings usually feel when they compare different alternatives. Clearly, Fuzzy Set Theory is an appropriate framework for modeling degrees of preference, both in the numerical and linguistic approaches.
