Introduction to Logic!
How do we distinguish good from flawed reasoning? Sound and cogent arguments from fallacious ones? How can we construct logically compelling arguments and avoid erroneous ones? This is the domain of logic, the study of reasoning and arguments. This course cultivates thinking skills that are useful for any area that values careful analysis to assess truth, value, practicality, and efficiency. You will become familiar with basic formal and informal logical concepts and common logical fallacies. As you become adept at these concepts, you will engage in logically consistent and coherent reasoning, as reflected by the clear and rational arguments you construct.

Welcome to Major Questions in Philosophy!
Is there such a thing as right and wrong? How do you know if you’re a good person? Is ethics about following rules? Doing your duty? Bringing about the greatest good for the greatest number? Obeying God? Developing virtue? These are the kinds of burning questions that ethics investigates. The study of ethics concerns the nature of action, motivation, consequence, and personal character. You will be introduced to the key issues and theories in ethics. You will trace the historical development of various ethical theories, as well as learn how to apply these theories to contemporary problems in ethics.
