Course Overview

Logic In Philosophy: Logical Fallacies And Common Mistakes

Logic, reasoning and logical fallacies like ad hominem, misuse of political correctness, and creating our own blindspots

This course will help you think more clearly through many of life's dilemmas and difficult situations.

Some logical fallacies you might be familiar with are:

Ad hominem, begging the question, red herring fallacy, hasty generalization, false dichotomy, slippery slope fallacy, tu quoque, appeal to authority, and false dilemma.

We will focus on these issues and a number of other issues throughout the course, and mainly finding inconsistencies of how we understand the world, situation, and how those inconsistencies and errors have an impact on our decisions in regard to our lives.


PHILOSOPHY APPLIED TO REAL-LIFE


Philosophy can be boring to study because it's sometimes hard to apply it to real-world situations. In this course, I make sure that the ideas explained have real-world applications, which immediately makes this topic interesting and useful in life.

Coming soon: Logic in debates.

    very basic, I haven't found anything new or profound, it's like something you can read on Wikipedia

    This a a good introductory course for laymen and laywomen with no prior knowledge on the topic. The explanation are fairly easy to grasp even for your average high-school graduate. If you have undergrade education, though, you might wish to consider more advanced courses on the same topic such as 'Critical Thinker Academy: Learn to Think Like a Philosopher' by Dr. Kevin deLaplante or 'Mastering Logical Fallacies' by Dr. Bo Bennett.
