Description

Focuses on thinking clearly, reasoning productively and arguing well. These are essential skills in life and work. The course investigates reasoning and argumentative strategies, good reasoning, as well as poorly-formed arguments. Philosophy has a lot to say about these practices, and also about the whole nature of human reason.
