Thinking clearly and effectively is something that people can learn to do. Understanding some basic concepts as well as mastering certain practical techniques can help in this. In this course you will learn about classifying concepts and how to define them; about the nature of arguments and the way to bring their structure to the surface by diagramming techniques; about some of the classic fallacies people commit in their reasoning; about some of the basic concepts and procedures of logic. This course does not satisfy the logic requirement for the major or honours in Philosophy. EXCLUSIONS: PHIL 2090.03 FORMATS: Lecture | Discussion
