Paradox, sorites, fuzzy logic, consistency, soundnessAbstract
The sorites paradox is widely known for showing the contradictory consequences that reasoning with vague terms might have. Important analytic philosophers like Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege strongly supported the idea that contradictions like those in the sorites paradox are due to the vagueness of common language. This work attempts to propose a methodology based on fuzzy logic that shows that the sorites type reasoning are consistent and sound however the vague terms it might contain.
