Symbolic Logic explores the principles of formal reasoning and the use of symbols to represent logical expressions.

Practical Applications

Analyzing Arguments in Everyday Life

Logic in Conversations

Every day, people make arguments—whether they're choosing a movie, debating homework, or discussing the news.

Spotting Good and Bad Arguments

Symbolic logic helps you break down arguments, spot hidden assumptions, and see if the reasoning actually works.

Making Your Case

Using logic, you can build stronger arguments, persuade others, and avoid being fooled by bad reasoning.

Practice Makes Perfect

Try analyzing conversations or social media posts for logic and fallacies!

Examples

  • A friend says, 'If you eat veggies, you'll be healthy. You're healthy, so you must eat veggies.' Spotting the fallacy!

  • Debating which movie to watch by logically listing pros and cons.
