Syllogisms in Rudimentary Linear Logic, Diagrammatically
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a reading of the traditional syllogistics in a fragment of the propositional intuitionistic multiplicative linear logic and prove that with respect to a diagrammatic logical calculus that we introduced in a previous paper, a syllogism is provable in such a fragment if and only if it is diagrammatically provable. We extend this result to syllogistics with complemented terms à la De Morgan, with respect to a suitable extension of the diagrammatic reasoning system for the traditional case and a corresponding reading of such De Morgan style syllogistics in the previously referred to fragment of linear logic.

Suhrawardi's Modal Syllogisms
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 presuppositi...
متن کاملEquivalence of Syllogisms
We consider two categorical syllogisms, valid or invalid, to be equivalent if they can be transformed into each other by certain transformations, going back to Aristotle, that preserve validity. It is shown that two syllogisms are equivalent if and only if they have the same models. Counts are obtained for the number of syllogisms in each equivalence class. To make the development more natural,...
متن کاملIntermediate Syllogisms in Fuzzy Natural Logic
The goal of this paper is twofold: first, we give overview of the results of one part of the Fuzzy Natural Logic — the formal theory of intermediate quantifiers and syllogisms based on them. We present 105 valid basic syllogisms and show that for the proof of validity of all of them, we need to prove validity of only few of them so that validity of the other ones immediately follows. In the sec...
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 کاملA Computational Logic Approach to Syllogisms in Human Reasoning
Abstract. Psychological experiments on syllogistic reasoning have shown that participants did not always deduce the classical logically valid conclusions. In particular, the results show that they had di culties to reason with syllogistic statements that contradicted their own beliefs. This paper discusses syllogisms in human reasoning and proposes a formalization under the weak completion sema...
