Topics in Philosophy and Logic

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Prerequisite: PHIL 30313 Formal Logic This course is an introduction to various philosophical issues that have motivated work in non-classical logic. Topics may include truth, falsity, necessity, moral obligation, "future contingents" (e.g., it will be true that you take this course), negated existence claims (e.g., it's false that Mickey Mouse exists), and more. We will discuss both the philosophical ideas and the target logical frameworks, focusing on how to construct your own "logic" for philosophically perplexing phenomena.
