Logic

In this ten-hour course, Dr. Stephen Hicks guides us through the principles and real-world applications of reasoning—from foundational concepts to advanced logical systems. We explore argument structure, concept formation, fallacies, syllogisms, and both deductive and inductive logic, examining how these tools shape critical thinking and sound decision-making. Drawing on historical cases and philosophical debates, the course reveals how logic has driven human thought, scientific discovery, and technological innovation—from classical reasoning to modern symbolic logic and computer science—while challenging us to consider its limits and universality.
