An Introduction to Logic

Overview

Summary
Intro to logic rooted in God's nature, teaching students to analyze, evaluate, and build sound arguments.
Description

An Introduction to Logic is a logic course that introduces students to the foundational aspects of logic. The overarching goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge, tools, and skills necessary to critically analyze, evaluate, and construct arguments of their own and others. This course grounds the study of Logic in the nature of God and the image of God in humanity, which invites students to ponder and apply the importance and value of logic in daily decision-making. The majority of this course is based on Patrick J. Hurley’s A Concise Introduction to Logic 11th Edition.


Upon completion of this course, students should be able to articulate the relationship between God and logic, the importance of Logic in moral decision-making, the basic concepts of Logic, discern an argument from a non-argument, produce clear and effective terminology for arguments, detect fallacious arguments, assess the validity/strength and soundness/cogency of an argument, produce valid/strong arguments, and the ability to construct standard-form categorical propositions.
