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

✦ Synopsis
In this article a concept of conditional fuzzy measure is presented, which is a generalization of conditional probability measure. Its properties are studied in the general case and in some particular types of fuzzy measures as representable measures, capacities of order two, and belief-plausibility measures. In the case of capacities of order two it coincides with the concept given by Dempster for representable measures. However, it differs from the Dempster's rule for conditioning belief-plausibility measures. As it is shown, Dempster's rule of conditioning is based on the idea of combining information and our definition is based on a restriction in the set of possible worlds.

The inclusion measure, the similarity measure, and the fuzziness of fuzzy sets are three important measures in fuzzy set theory. In this article, we investigate the relations among inclusion measures, similarity measures, and the fuzziness of fuzzy sets, prove eight theorems that inclusion measures,
Fuzzy reasoning is intensively used in intelligent systems including fuzzy control, classification, expert systems, and networks to name a few dominant categories of such architectures. As being a fundamental construct permeating so many diverse areas, fuzzy reasoning was studied with respect to its
