PH 115: Introduction to Logic

Program
Credits 4.0

Is there an afterlife for human beings? To address this question, we will study (1) arguments, (2) systems of reasoning (deduction and induction), (3) definitions, and (4) fallacies so that we can apply logical terminology, concepts, and techniques to primary philosophical texts, including classical and more recent texts, about human immortality. Using logic in reading and discussing these texts will enable us to examine and refine our own beliefs throughout the semester as we try to determine whether there is an afterlife for human beings.
