Su questo corso

Philosophy I pairs the tools of reasoning with the thinkers who first used them. Lessons are short and followed by practice questions with instant feedback — in logic you build truth tables and proofs; in ancient philosophy you reconstruct and compare arguments.

The logic unit covers arguments, validity and soundness, the language of propositional logic, truth tables, entailment and consistency, natural deduction and proof strategy, set theory, relations and functions, and modal logic with possible worlds. The ancient philosophy unit runs from the Milesians, Pythagoras, Heraclitus and Parmenides, through Zeno, the Pluralists and the Atomists, to the Sophists, Socrates and Plato.
