PHIL 1041 - Introduction to Logic

Institution:

Century College - Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces students to the formal study of reasoning using the concepts and techniques of symbolic logic. Topics covered include representing the underlying logical structure of English sentences and arguments, testing whether arguments have good form, identifying valid and invalid argument forms, and recognizing common examples of bad reasoning. While it can be abstract and challenging, learning symbolic logic does have its practical side: it may lead to a deeper appreciation of the uses and abuses of language, more careful and critical reading skills, and a better understanding of how to craft well-reasoned writing.
