| PHILOSOPHY 11(SSP) | Logic (3 units) |
| Description |
Logic is a fundamental element in the training of the mind. It is the instrument of thought.
Formal logic clarifies the formal relationships that hold between truth claims. If truth is conceived to be the aim of an inquiry, the study of logic has a rightful place in the pursuit of that inquiry.
This course tackles first-order formalization of two classes of statements: sentences, i.e., ordinary statements involving descriptions of facts; and predications, i.e., statements involving ascriptions of predicates (attributes, properties, characteristics) to individuals and to classes of individuals. Through the use of formal exercises, the course trains the students to quickly and intuitively recognize valid patterns of inference and to distinguish these from invalid ones.
