✦ Synopsis

The paper explores the possibility of an empirical access to the membership functions of fuzzy sets representing concepts. A formalism is introduced to describe structural features of concepts. It is shown, at least for the system of concepts in the social sciences, especially those on a high level of generality, that the theory of psychological tests provides the methodology of construction of measurement tools.
