Article Title：Fuzzy health, illness, and disease
Abstract：
The notions of health, illness, and disease are fuzzy-theoretically analyzed. They present themselves as non-Aristotelian concepts violating basic principles of classical logic. A recursive scheme for defining the controversial notion of disease is proposed that also supports a concept of fuzzy disease. A sketch is given of the prototype resemblance theory of disease.
Keywords: prototype resemblance theory of disease; deontic constructs; disease; fuzzy disease; fuzzy health; fuzzy illness; health; illness; logic of medicine; Meinongian objects; nosology; patienthood
