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.
