UMass Philosophy 110
Kevin C. Klement — Fall 2013
|
Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:00—2:15pm in 106 Thompson An introduction to symbolic logic, including sentential and predicate logic. Its purpose is to familiarize you with certain formal methods for representing and evaluating arguments and inferences. These methods can be used not only for philosophy, but for any subject matter. Like mathematics, the methods you will learn are highly abstract, formal and symbolic. If math is not your strong suit, be prepared to devote extra time to this course. This is an analytical reasoning (R2) course. |
