Summary/Abstract: Unlike truth values that, accordingly to the principles of logic, are only two, there can be distinguished three values of opinion for a proposition: acceptance, rejection and indifference. Still, the attempt to build a three-valued logic of opinion comes to the paradox that there are tautologies that are not accepted. We can avoid the paradox if we use a complex representation of the opinion values, through analogy with complex numbers. The logic of opinion is a kind of complex logic.
