Abstract
This paper firstly formalizes categorical syllogisms with the help of set theory, and then conducts specific formal reasoning for them by taking advantage of generalized quantifier theory and first-order logic, and derives the remaining 23 valid syllogisms from mere EIO-3 as a basic axiom. The deductibility between different syllogisms and the non-uniqueness of their deductive sequences again exemplify and highlight the dialectical materialist worldview that ‘things are universally connected’. This knowledge reasoning pattern is not only beneficial for the in-depth development of other types of syllogistic, but also for knowledge mining in computer science.
