Section Info: Arguments are the basis of reasoning; good reasoning is important because it leads to good life decisions. In this course we will learn to recognize and evaluate arguments. We will explore a variety of argument forms, investigating both formal and informal methods of argumentation. Effort will be made to clarify how we distinguish between good and bad arguments. In the study of formal logic, our focus will be on syllogism and propositional logic. Our study of informal logic will pay particular attention to the informal fallacies occurring in everyday linguistic exchanges (conversation, newspapers).
