| 摘要 | The insights behind fuzzy set theory are summarized and related to research on categorization. The concept of fuzziness is evaluated relative to the demands of an essentially cross-cultural, phenomenological enterprise. An "experiential proximity hypothesis" is developed by combining the notion of fuzziness with the Whiteheadian notion of "extensive abstraction." The potential power of these concepts for understanding both the symbol-experience relationship in rituals and other cultural phenomena and informant reports of experience is emphasized. The concept of fuzziness is applied to esoteric concepts, categories, and symbols in systems of contemplation. Contemplation based upon Buddhist categories of consciousness is given as an example. |
