چکیده
suhrawardi’s logic of the hikmat al-ishraq is basically modal. so to understand his modal logic one first has to know the non-modal part upon which his modal logic is built. in my previous paper ‘suhrawardi on syllogisms’(3) i discussed the former in detail. the present paper is an exposition of his treatment of modal syllogisms. on the basis of some reasonable existential presuppositions and a number of controversial metaphysical theses, and also by confining his theory to alethic modality, suhrawardi makes his modal syllogism simple in a way that is without precedent

متن کاملModels for Modal Syllogisms
A semantics is presented for Storrs McCalΓs separate axiomatizations of Aristotle's accepted and rejected polysyllogisms. The polysyllogisms under discussion are made up of either assertoric or apodeictic propositions. The semantics is given by associating a property with a pair of sets: one set consists of things having the property essentially and the other of things having it accidentally. A...
متن کاملParry Syllogisms
Parry discusses an extension of Aristotle’s syllogistic that uses four nontraditional quantifiers. We show that his conjectured decision procedure for validity for the extended syllogistic is correct even if syllogisms have more than two premises. And we axiomatize this extension of the syllogistic. 1 Background and motivation Parry [2] discusses an extension of the syllogistic in which sentenc...
متن کاملWholly Hypothetical Syllogisms
In antiquity we encounter a distinction of two types of hypothetical syllogisms. One type are the 'mixed hypothetical syllogisms'. The other type is the one to which the present paper is devoted. These arguments went by the name of 'wholly hypothetical syllogisms'. They were thought to make up a self-contained system of valid arguments. Their paradigm case consists of two conditionals as premis...
متن کاملComparative and quantitative syllogisms
Traditionally, syllogisms are arguments with two premises and one conclusion which are constructed by propositions of the form “All... are...” and “At least one... is...” and their respective negated versions. Unfortunately, the practical use of traditional syllogisms is quite restricted. On the one hand, the “All...” propositions are too strict, since a single counterexample suffices for falsi...
متن کاملDynamic Reasoning with Qualified Syllogisms
A gualij%e~ syllogism is a classical Aristoteiean syllogism that has been “qualified” through the use of fuzzy quantifiers, likelihood modifiers, and usuality modifiers, e.g., “Most birds can Ry; Tweety is a bird; therefore, it is likely that Tweety can fly.” This paper introduces a formal logic Q of such syllogisms and shows how this may be employed in a system of nonmonotonj~ reasoning. In pr...
