Abstract

We present how fuzzy logic with linguistic quantifiers, mainly its calculi of linguistically quantified propositions, can be used in group decision making. Basically, the fuzzy linguistic quantifiers (exemplified bymost, almost all,...) are employed to represent a fuzzy majority which is in many cases closer to a real human perception of the very essence of majority. Fuzzy logic provides here means for a formal handling of such a fuzzy majority which was not possible by using traditional formal apparata. Using a fuzzy majority, and assuming fuzzy individual and social preference relations, we redefine solution concepts in group decision making, and present new «soft» degrees of consensus.
