Though students will be expected to master some technical detail, most of the course will be concerned with informal logical techniques applicable to problem solving and argument in any area of inquiry. Some of the general skills students will develop include the ability to identify the structure of arguments and to assess their strength and validity. This will further develop the students' own critical reasoning skills and their ability to formulate and defend good arguments. There are no prerequisites for the course. No prior exposure to philosophy will be presupposed.
