PHIL 328

Critical Reasoning and Composition

This course is an introduction to logic and critical reasoning with an emphasis on writing. Issues for writing will be drawn from areas of philosophy such as ethics, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of religion. Students will develop skills in evaluating unsupported claims, identifying arguments, evaluating deductive and inductive reasoning, and identifying informal fallacies. These skills will then be applied to readings in philosophy and used to inform the student’s own written compositions.
