"Democratic institutions require that citizens think for themselves, discuss problems freely with one another, and decide issues on the basis of deliberation and weighing of evidence. Through the study of logic we can acquire not only practice in reasoning, but also respect for reason, and thus reinforce and secure the values we prize." I.M.C.

Thank you for visiting this page. It feels good to have you here.

This course is updated regularly with new lessons, so you are going to get much more than you see in the present curriculum. Learning logic is about a better way to think, therefore it is about the quality of our lives. Make the most of it.

Don't you use reasoning every day? Would it not be important then to be able to separate the good from the bad... arguments. Logic was first systematized by Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher who stands like a giant against time. In this course we introduce his Logic of Syllogism. Logic should be understood as a practical tool and as a way to structure the mind. Furthermore, any student in Philosophy should have at least a basic understanding of Logic.
