Abstract: Moral paradox is a difficult problem perplexing logic, which is often difficult to solve in classical logic. Suing many valued logic has become a choice. As a solution to moral paradox, multivalued logic provides a thinking framework of the logic system that is different from the traditional binary logic. It helps us look a

Abstract: Gadamer's fraternity is closely related to the future development of mankind, not just the fraternity at the life level. He emphasizes that everyone exists in the community, even if he is not aware of the existence of the community, which requires rethinking the relationship between fraternity and unity on the basis of prac

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: The connotation of Zhuangzi's life philosophy is to put the individual life in the universe, and the individual life and the universe are organically integrated into a whole. In Zhuangzi's philosophy of life, life and death are no longer contradictory opposites. Life and death are only part of the natural law and a link of

Abstract: When faced with multiple dilemmas of moral choice, self driving cars often cause moral and legal problems that make people think deeply. When the self driving car is in such an unavoidable dilemma that it is necessary to hit people, it will be a puzzle whether it is utilitarianism to kill one person and save multiple people

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 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: 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 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 presents knowledge representations of Aristotelian modal syllogisms based on the structure of modal categorical propositions; Then, the validity of syllogism ⼞AA◇A-1 was proved by using the truth value definitions of these propositions. And then this syllogism was used for knowledge reasoning with the hel

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

Abstract: Three space experiments carried out in 2004-2018 placed all points on "i" in the discussion about the nature of space-time, which began with the apories of Zeno of Eleia. Experiments have proved that space-time does not exist physically. They are what Democritus called "nothing," unlike "what," which is associated with ever

Abstract: Empirical data in situ of recent years indicate that spacetime does not exist physically: they are not material - they do not have any of the characteristics inherent in material objects. At the same time, space-time is the most fundamental and universal mediator between all, without exception, material objects of Nature. I
