PHIL110 — Practical Logic
Add to Personal Bookmarks Number of Practical Logic explores the fundamentals of human reasoning with an emphasis on refining students’ skills in critical thinking in everyday situations. In this course, we will examine the elements of rational argument, the role of language and subjective factors in good (and poor) reasoning, and the requirements for cogent argument. Students will strengthen their skills in identifying fallacies in everyday arguments (such as those encountered in conversation, advertising, political campaigns, and media spin), in following a deductive path of inference, and in constructing arguments of their own.
