PHIL 102 Introduction to Logic
An introduction to the practice and study of reason, focusing on how to analyze arguments and how not to jump to conclusions. Special attention is paid to recognizing informal fallacies (the logical tricks which dominate political discourse in America today) and to understanding conditional (if … then …) statements. Students will be expected to write rigorous proofs. There will be a strong emphasis on symbolic logic (propositional logic including natural deduction).
