Abstract:As a topic, fraternity occupies an important position in western philosophy. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Gadamer, etc. have all studied fraternity from different angles. In the history of Western classical thought, friendship is a highly political thing. At the same time, fraternity is also one of the important sources of w
Abstract:In the real society where qualitative culture prevails, people's psychological level is gradually losing their demand for freedom and liberation after being controlled. It seems to be a Utopia to expect some top-down political or economic liberation. In this regard, Marcuse shifted the starting point of liberation from the
Abstract:Moral paradox is a kind of unique problems existing in human real life world. It is the different results people make for the same behavior based on different value judgment and value choice intention in some situations. And this result often has the contradictory nature of right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and uglines
Abstract:Human beings have been paying attention to moral paradox for a long time, especially in recent decades, moral paradox has been highly valued and studied by more and more scholars. Moral paradox, as a special logical contradiction in the real world of human life, is the spiritual product of human practice. Many years' resear
Abstract:This paper first formalizes categorical propositions in syllogisms, then proves the validity of the generalized syllogism MAI-4, and then deduces other 15 valid generalized syllogisms from the syllogism MAI-4. In other words, there are reducible relationships between/among the 16 syllogisms. This study highlights the dialec
Abstract:In the study of the general methodology of science and philosophy, we have discovered a common fundamental problem of the “paradox of the basic element” that creates inconsistencies in social and natural theory and general ontology and epistemology. Our study of the state interactions as a major international actor leads us
Abstract:This paper formalizes Aristotelian modal syllogism within the framework of knowledge mining and subsequently proves the validity of the Aristotelian modal syllogism ▢EAO-3 through the application of modal logic and generalized quantifier theory. Moreover, by means of the integration of specific rules and facts derived from
Abstract:This paper firstly proves that the syllogism EMO-4 is valid, and secondly indicates the validity of the other 14 syllogisms can be deduced from that of EMO-4 with the help of generalized quantifier theory, set theory, and first-order logic. And more valid generalized syllogisms can be deduced when one continues to infer. It
Abstract:This paper firstly provides knowledge representations of Aristotelian modal syllogisms from the perspective of mathematical structuralism, and proves the validity of Aristotelian modal syllogism E⼞I◇O-4, and then by making full use of relevant definitions, facts, and some inference rules, formally derive other 30 valid moda
Abstract:Due to the large number of generalized quantifiers in the English language, this paper only studies the fragment of generalized modal syllogistic that contains the quantifiers in Square{all} and Square{most}. On the basis of generalized quantifier theory, possible-world semantics, and set theory, this paper shows that there
