One of the requests for new courses this year was for 'using philosophy in our everyday lives'. This is that course! Philosophy is not really about armchair reasoning - it is a living skill. However, in order that we may acquire that skill it is useful to look at how logicians have applied it in the past. Great minds, from Plato to Wittgenstein, have helped to show us the way to relate philosophy to every aspect of our lives. An introduction to simple formal logic, which can be applied to help with correct reasoning and hence clear thinking, will assist us in exposing fallacies in the statements and reasoning of others, whether in casual, friendly conversation or the serious attempts of advertisers, politicians and public figures to influence our thought. Flawed and false arguments abound and in this course we try to show ways to untangle them.
