Logic is the science of correct reasoning. The philisophical study in logic is the argument. In this course we will study ways to recognize, assess, and construct arguments. We will learn the forms that arguments can take and the properties that they must have to be good. We shall study common errors in reasoning. We will look at irrational forms of persuasion and cases of faulty resoning. Every dimension of the course aims at enhancing your ability to reason, that is, to see and understand connections and relationships among ideas, resulting in formulating possible resolutions, with the tools or interdisciplinary thought and scientific method.
The overall goal is to perfect your ability to recognize, reconstruct, and evaluate a complex piece of reasoning.
