PHI 215 - Logical Inquiry |
Logical Inquiry Prerequisite: None Everybody thinks that critical thinking is essential to the 21st century student. But what is critical thinking? There is not one definition, but it is agreed that it refers to the ability of thinking things carefully, which requires the capacity to examine any belief or any argument in light of the elements that support it and the conclusions to which they lead. This course will provide you with the essential tools needed to become skillful in the art of careful understanding-you will learn to discern between good and fallacious arguments; and will be capable to analyze, reconstruct, assess, and formulate arguments about important and complex issues which lack clear answers, using both informal and formal methods. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture PoliSci, Philosophy, & Geog Department Course Attributes: CSUS Common Course, GER IA-Inquiry and Analysis, ELAC DC-Arts & Humanities, ELAC LO-Critical Thinking, Public Policy Skill Courses, LAC T1LT-Literature & Thought Restrictions: May not be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Non Credit |
