The Exploding Philosopher: Logic

« Phil & World Religions exams graded (already!) | Main | Phil & World Religions - Fri March 14 »

Logic - Wed March 12

We worked through some more truth tree problems, and discussed how to use truth trees to check:
- whether an argument is valid
- whether a sentence is a tautology, contradiction, or contingent
- whether a set of sentences is consistent

Quiz #5 was given at the end of class.

Reading for Fri: finish Chapter 6
