Epistemological aspects of many-valued logics and fuzzy structures

The aim of this paper is to analyze the epistemological and ontological status of some basic notions of logic that correspond to the essential intuitions of logicians that may contain important necessary concepts, without which the field would lose its character and justification for its autonomy. In this analysis we pay particular attention to the epistemology and ontology of fuzzy systems and their link with many-valued logics.
