One of the requests for new courses was for 'using philosophy in our everyday lives'. This is that course! Philosophy is not armchair reasoning - it is a living skill. In learning to acquire this ability, we will look at how logicians have used philosophy in the past. Great minds, from Plato to Wittgenstein, teach us to apply philosophy in every aspect of our lives. We begin with an introduction to simple formal logic, which can help us with correct reasoning and clear thinking. It will expose fallacies in the statements and reasoning of others, whether in casual, friendly conversation or in the serious attempts of advertisers, politicians and public figures to influence us. Flawed and false arguments abound and we try to show ways to untangle them, allowing us to think clearly, solve problems and make informed, logical decisions.
