  • Abstract
    In this paper, we continue developing the formal theory of intermediate quantifiers (expressions such as most, few, almost all, a lot of, many, a great deal of, a large part of, a small part of). The theory is a fuzzy-logic formalization of the concept introduced by Peterson in his book. We will syntactically prove that 105 generalized Aristotleʹs syllogisms introduced in this book are valid in our theory. At the same time, we will also prove that syllogisms listed there as invalid are invalid also in our theory. Therefore, we believe that our theory provides a reasonable mathematical model of the generalized syllogistics.
