Critical Thinking II

This course cultivates the critical thinking skills acquired in introductory critical thinking: clarity of thought, reasoning systematically, and the construction, analysis and evaluation of claims and arguments. The course will examine fundamental principles and standards governing good reasoning, as well as their application to specific philosophical issues. Topics will include deductive arguments and logical form, inductive and causal arguments, and some of the ensuing philosophical controversies and paradoxes, such as Hume's problem of induction.
